Revisiting Ryan Coogler
With the extraordinary success of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever it\u2019s a perfect time to revisit our 2018 conversation with its director, Ryan Coogler. \xa0From college grad student to director of Creed and Black Panther in a short span of time, Ryan Coogler has kept his feet on the ground. He relies on his wife Zinzi Evans and former USC classmates who form the core of his working team. From his debut feature, Fruitvale Station, through his latest box-office smash, he has found ways to make each film personal to his own experience.\xa0 Leonard and Jessie are unabashed boosters of this talented filmmaker and loved having a quiet, intimate conversation with him.
