Black Panther Director Ryan Coogler Detained After Being Mistaken for Bank Robber
Black Panther director Ryan Coogler was wrongly handcuffed by police after an attempted withdrawal from his own account was assumed to be a bank robbery. The celebrated director has been in Atlanta working on the sequel to the Marvel hit, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Prior to working the Marvel franchise, Coogler directed the 2013 film Fruitvale Station, which won the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival that year. The film, which was Coogler's feature directorial debut, is based on real-life events surrounding the tragic death of Oscar Grant, an innocent Black man who was killed by BART police, and features actual footage at its opening of Grant and his friends detained by police soon before the shooting actually took place.
