**LOS ANGELES, CA** – Oscar-nominated actress Hailee Steinfeld is trading in her bow and arrow for fangs in her latest role. The 28-year-old star, known for her breakout performance in “True Grit,” will appear in the upcoming vampire thriller, “Sinners,” alongside Michael B. Jordan.

“Sinners,” directed by Ryan Coogler (“Black Panther,” “Creed”), is set in the 1930s South and features Jordan in a dual role as twin brothers battling bloodthirsty vampires. Steinfeld plays Mary, a strong and captivating love interest to one of Jordan’s characters.

In a recent newsletter, Steinfeld described the role as a significant departure from her previous work, stating, “This role is far removed from what I’ve done, but that’s part of what drew me to it!” She expressed excitement about the complex and layered storyline, calling the film “an amazing cinematic experience” that is “thrilling and sexy and daring and dangerous.” However, she cautioned fans that the film, rated R for strong violence and mature content, may not be suitable for all audiences.

Steinfeld’s enthusiasm for the project was immediate. “The minute I heard Ryan Coogler, I was in,” she wrote. She has expressed hope for more similar roles in the future, indicating this is a new direction she’s eager to pursue.

“Sinners” hits theaters on April 18th.
