FROM Ryan Coogler
The Business
Revisting director Ryan Coogler With ‘Black Panther’ set to cross a billion dollars at the worldwide box office, we thought now would be the perfect time to revisit a talk with director Ryan Coogler we recorded in 2015 , just after the release of his second movie, ‘Creed.’ Coogler tells us about growing up in a movie-loving family outside of Oakland, and how he almost became a football player instead of a filmmaker. He also addresses the rumors that there just might be a Marvel film on his horizon.
