Ryan Coogler exploded into the scene with his emotionally impactful feature directorial debut, Fruitvale Station. Starring his longtime muse, Michael B. Jordan, the film follows the life of Oscar Grant, specifically the events leading to his untimely, unjust death by police officers.
Outside of traditional physical media, you can stream Fruitvale Station for free on CTV. American audiences can stream the movie on Prime Video.
Coogler followed up with 2015’s sports drama Creed. A spin-off of the Rocky series, it follows the young Adonis Creed, son of former Rocky rival, Apollo Creed. Coogler elevated his directing prowess by injecting a great amount of vibrancy and freshness to the long-running film series.
Outside of traditional physical media, you can stream Creed (and its sequels which were not directed by Coogler) on Crave. American audiences can stream can stream it on Prime Video.
Unsurprisingly, Marvel picked up the rising star to direct the first solo adaptation of the character Black Panther, the first feature film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) starring a nearly all-Black cast. Black Panther follows Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa fight for the throne after being challenged by the ruthless Killmonger (Jordan). Black Panther, by every metric, was a bona fide hit, a mega success that cemented Coogler’s legacy as a visionary director. To this day, it is the highest-grossing film directed by a Black filmmaker. This success made it a no-brainer that Coogler would return to direct the sequel, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and hopefully he will return for the third.
Outside of traditional physical media, you can stream Black Panther, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever on Disney+.
