*Ryan Coogler and actor Michael B. Jordan are teaming up once again for a feature film, and details about the project are under wraps.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cooler will write and direct the film with Jordan set to star. Per THR, “The project is operating under such a veil of secrecy that little is known about it,” the outlet writes.
Jordan and Coogler previously worked together on “Black Panther,” “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” and “Creed.” The upcoming new project is described as a “genre” feature, per THR.
Jordan is also set to star in the sequel to Will Smith’s “I Am Legend,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.
We reported previously that filmmaker Akiva Goldsman said the sequel would follow the first film’s “alternate ending,” which appears on the DVD, where Smith’s character doesn’t die; instead — he’s brought back to life.
The events in “I Am Legend 2” reportedly occur years after the original.
“This will start a few decades later than the first,” Goldsman said. “That will be especially visual in New York. … I don’t know if they’ll climb up to the Empire State Building, but the possibilities are endless.”
The sequel will follow Richard Matheson’s 1954 novella.
“… we are going with the mythology of the DVD version where my character lived,” Will Smith previously shared.
In related news, Coogler continues to produce projects for the MCU. He serves as an executive producer on the “Ironheart” series and is developing the animated “Eyes of Wakanda” series, both will be released on Disney+.
