Ryan Coogler is a filmmaker known for his work on history-making films such as "Fruitvale Station," "Creed," "Black Panther," and its sequel, "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever." He has received numerous awards for his work, including ten NAACP Image Awards, four Black Reel Awards, the U.S. Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award at Sundance in 2013 for "Fruitvale Station," and Best Director at the 2018 Saturn Awards for "Black Panther."

Their first production, "Judas and the Black Messiah," received six Academy Award nominations. He is also an executive producer for the upcoming miniseries "Ironheart," set to release in 2025, and developed and is an executive producer for the miniseries "Eyes of Wakanda." In 2025, he released "Sinners," starring Michael B. Jordan, which was a box-office hit.

In addition to his work in film, Coogler has been recognized for his impact on the world. He was included on Time's list of the 30 people under 30 who are changing the world in 2013 and was named the runner-up for Time's Person of the Year in 2018.
