Sinners most breathtaking moment was added at the very last moment

Ryan Coogler’s Sinners has proven to be a storytelling masterpiece, captivating audiences with its breathtaking visuals, gripping plot, and a powerhouse cast that has left everyone in awe. Fans continue to dissect key scenes, revealing the incredible depth, thought, and craftsmanship Coogler poured into every frame.

One of the most breathtaking scenes in the film is when Sammie, played by Miles Caton, performs at the juke club as visuals of music in different eras and a plethora of beings from the outer world arrive. It's a captivating scene, probably one of Caton's best moments in the film, and it has now been announced that it was actually added last minute!

Wunmi Mosaku, who plays Annie, Smoke's estranged wife, opened up on how this scene was added last minute as she talked about Coogler editing the scripts and fitting in the juke club scene, days before the final read.

Talking to Hollywood Reporter, the actress said,

"Absolutely not, but the script changed from the time I auditioned to the read-through with the cast. The script I got two days before the read-through had the past and future ancestors in the scene, and I got chills. That extra detail, I was like, "Wow, this man is a genius." Ryan is so brilliant that he took what I thought was already a perfect script and elevated it in such a way. So, when we got to the read-through, it was so powerful, and we were all in tears, especially hearing Miles sing for the first time. "

She then added a few words of praise for Coogler and said,

"I don’t think doubt ever crept into any of our minds from the moment we heard Ryan Coogler was doing an original project. He is such a keeper of culture and cinema, and now, music. He just thinks so deeply that doubt never crossed my mind while being involved in this, and I can guarantee that every single actor and crew member felt the same."
