Before Sinners and a $35 Million Net Worth, Ryan Coogler Needed $300 From His Wife for His First Screenwriting Software

Ryan Coogler just delivered the best movie of 2025 so far with the vampire action film Sinners. The filmmaker came back to original filmmaking after dabbling in franchises such as Creed and Black Panther, joined by his frequent collaborator Michael B. Jordan. The film is set in 1930s Mississippi and has been lauded for its concept and performances.
Coogler has steadily risen to be one of the most exciting filmmakers of the current age. His deal with Warner Bros., where he received full ownership of the film after a few years, was unheard of and could only be possible due to his immense talent. Before anyone else, his wife Zinzi Evans seemed to spot his talent and support him in the best possible way.
