The “Fruitvale Station,” “Creed” and “Black Panther” director leaves franchises behind and gets back to more challenging work with this period piece about two brothers returning to their hometown to face “evil.”

Delroy Lindo, Lola Kirke, Hailee Steinfeld, Jayme Lawson and bluesman Buddy Guy star in this March 7 release.

How serious is it? Coogler shot it on FILM.
