Filming for Ryan Coogler’s enigmatic 1930s-set vampire film commenced earlier this month, and now, the first set photos have surfaced online (via IMDb).
While most of the images showcase the intricate set constructions, one tantalizing snap offers a glimpse of leading man Michael B. Jordan in costume. However, the character he portrays remains shrouded in mystery.
Initially shrouded in secrecy, the project was so clandestine that industry insiders had to journey to the Beverly Hills offices of WME, the agency representing Coogler and Jordan, just to peruse the script.
Although scant details were initially available, subsequent leaks have shed some light on the film’s premise. Originally billed as a “genre feature” with a historical twist, it has since been revealed that the narrative unfolds against the backdrop of the Jim Crow-era South, potentially intertwining elements of Southern supernatural lore with vampiric mythology.
Adding to the intrigue, rumors suggest that Jordan might be tackling a dual role, purportedly portraying twin brothers. Joining him in the cast are Hailee Steinfeld, Wunmi Mosaku, Delroy Lindo, and Jack O’Connell, each taking on supporting roles. Character details remain under wraps, but speculation abounds—according to recent reports, Mosaku could play Jordan’s romantic interest (though the identity of her love interest remains uncertain), while O’Connell may assume the role of a racist antagonist.

Autumn Durald Arkapaw, Ryan Coogler’s director of photography, teased fans with a cryptic Instagram post as filming commenced. In the photo, a title for the movie is obscured by a series of black heart emojis, sparking rampant speculation among eager followers.
The veil of secrecy shrouding the film’s title has fueled rumors that it might be based on an existing intellectual property. However, the mysterious project appears to boast an original concept, adding to the intrigue surrounding its development.
Take a peek at the tantalizing photo below and see if you can decipher any clues hidden within the enigmatic arrangement of characters.
