Coogler, who worked with Jordan on critically-acclaimed and blockbuster movies “Fruitvale Station”, “Creed” and “Black Panther”, will direct the new project with Jordan starring in the lead role, according to entertainment news outlet The Hollywood Reporter.

Touted to be an original genre movie, the project marks the first spec script from Coogler through his production banner, Proximity Media.

Their second project was “Creed”, which launched a spin-off franchise to Sylvester Stallone’s “Rocky” series.

Jordan then played antagonist Erik Killmonger in Coogler’s Marvel film “Black Panther”, which was nominated for the Oscar for best picture.
