| Special Features: |
- Dancing with the Devil: The Making of Sinners (32:29) - Quite a bit more honest and forthright than most behind-the-scenes featurettes, this mid-length piece finds writer/director Ryan Coogler in a reflective mood as he speaks about a close relationship with his uncle from Mississippi who passed in 2015 before Creed was released. From their shared love of blues music to renewed confidence in his identity, Coogler also shares how other parts of his formative life and career can also be seen in the characters and settings. Also featured are Coogler's wife and business partner Zinzi, production designer Hannah Beachler, cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw, and others, all of them flanked by a generous assortment of old and new photos and candid on-set footage.
- Blues in the Night: The Music of Sinners (13:47) - Coogler and composer Ludwig Göransson, as well as composer/producer Boo Mitchell and blues pioneer Buddy Guy (older Sammie), discuss their approach to the film's unique original soundtrack and song selection, which even included a trip to the Mississippi Delta.
- Thicker than Blood: Becoming the Smokestack Twins (10:47) - Coogler returns here because of course he does, but Michael B. Jordan takes center stage as he talks about the thrills and challenges of a dual role.
- Spirits in the Deep South (8:00) - Zinzi Coogler introduces Yvonne Chireau, a professor of religion and Black studies, who takes a shallow dive into the world of Hoodoo and how it figures into Sinners' story.
- The Wages of Sin: The Creature Effects of Sinners (10:53) - Another short but worthwhile piece, this featurette includes drawings, designs, and footage of oozing bites, gushing blood, and other vampiric delights with comments by prosthetic makeup designer Mike Fontaine and other members of the FX team.
- Deleted Scenes (7 clips, 18:32 total) - "Farmhouse Dinner", "Juke Building Montage", "Sammie and Slim Talk at Piano", "Slim Plays 'My Preachin'", "Mary and Annie Talk About Gumbo", "Joan Watches Cornbread", and "Jed Sermon and Steal Away", presented in 1080p with shifting aspect ratios and Dolby Digital 2.0 audio.
