**London, UK** – Jack O’Connell, known for his roles in “Skins” and “Unbroken,” is set to have his breakout year in 2025, starring in two highly anticipated films. First up is Ryan Coogler’s (“Creed,” “Black Panther”) vampire horror, “Sinners,” a Jim Crow-era Mississippi-set thriller that promises pulse-pounding action and stylistic verve.
O’Connell plays Remmick, a menacing Irish vampire spreading his “gospel of fellowship and love” (read: bloodsucking) through the South. He infiltrates a juke joint run by gangster twins Smoke and Stack (Michael B. Jordan), disrupting a night of revelry and blues music performed by the exceptionally talented Preacher Boy (Miles Caton). O’Connell’s performance showcases his versatility, incorporating prosthetic makeup, banjo-playing, Irish jigging, and even singing, all while mastering both Southern and Irish accents. He praised Coogler’s direction and the film’s unique atmosphere, highlighting a standout one-take scene showcasing the power of blues music.
While remaining tight-lipped, O’Connell did confirm his role as the “gas cunt,” Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal, in the upcoming zombie film “28 Years Later,” describing the character as existing in a “darker pocket” than any he’s played before. His performance in “Sinners” alone, however, promises to be a major highlight of his career, leaving audiences clamoring for a prequel.
