Ryan Coogler is so special. no code switching. He is who he is 24/7. Also no social media?? who is this guy! can we get 1 million more Ryan Coogler's in the world.
Samuel Gonzalez If you get an opportunity see the interview with Ava and Oprah. Ava directed the documentary 13th. It’s awesome about systemic mass incarceration and its inception since slavery. Powerful.
I love the fact that Ryan has a bit of a lisp and stutter and doesn't let him stop being great. I love Ava, so I am proud to see black comradery, this is how we have always been at our roots. There is no competition amongst your brothers and sisters there is room for us all to thrive and be great.
@@jazzsingerlady Coogler is the superior filmmaker by FAR lol. It's more like he has 14 years older by experience, even though he's a "baby filmmaker."
maybe it's because i haven't watched "Selma" yet , people say it's her best movie so far . if i watch the movie maybe i'll understand the hype around this woman . And i'm sure that if she's excellent , it's only thanks to her brains and artistic bagage not her skin color ( i'm sure that lady would rather have her fans compliment her talent rather than her skin color , just an intuition . will watch Selma today
Awesome interview! I admire them both for their contributions to film and paving the way to open doors for the up & coming filmmakers of color. Love it.
What Ava did at the end was so inspiring and uplifting! These two artists are incredible and I hope to meet and thank them both for what they are doing, one day.
He is so just amazingly simply complicated kinda in his own skin cool...she’s just so black girl magic ness all day everyday! Btw, I’m from Oakland 98 Baby!
Both Ava & Ryan such gems to the world and culture. Ava so gracious to Ryan at end and you saw the impact that her words meant to him. Such a moment super super sweet. ❤❤❤❤
I worry that white America wants to pit Ava and Ryan against each other. They are both uniquely lovely, powerful and intellectual. Woke enough not to let colonials create barriers. Big up!
These 2: Stillness~Impactful~Perseverance~Spiritual-In-Tuned~Heartfelt. So Happy to be a witness of their industry adventure & what they are bringing 2 the world 💟
That ending, though ! Ava got me emotional with her praise for Ryan. He deserves it and then some and you can tell he really values her opinion. I love their big sister/younger brother relationship, they're both incredible in their own way and I do hope to see them working together in the future.
Ava is not who y'all think she is. Ryan deserves the praise, Ava doesn't. They're using her to push their agendas. Example......black panther was black excellence; "a wrinkle in time" (waste of time if u asked me) was a foolish attempt to neutralise black panther. They (hollywood elites) tried to squeeze their agenda on the coat tails of the success of black panther by getting a mixed girl searching for her WHITE DADDY! Woke black people didn't fall for that bullshit, which is why it flopped! Hell....the trailer flopped. The elites are putting her on this pedestal she doesn't belong on......wake up dumb niggas!
The more we embrace the human rites of passage with powerful passion the less complicated it is to engulf changing lives and healing experiences I am so proud of our tribunal acknowledgements
Great convo- the Sweet Dreams redo is one of the reasons I really want to see the movie- if the movie matches the feeling that song gives the viewer I'm guaranteed to watch at least twice.
Shawn Zamir FFXV yes, and i think it's testament to her maturity and the community of blk artists that while the film wasn't the fit for her, she is still super supportive of ryan and the movie.
I can't believe all of my favorite people are all black. I grew up liking Christian Bale and a bunch of white authors and leaders, but now, there are so many black people to love and admire, not just because it's popular, but because of their actual achievements and contributions in modern times. This is such a great time for the world.
A short for PRADA's Miu Miu line; a documentary on Venus Williams; commercials for Apple; 2 of her own films (Middle of Nowhere; I Will Follow); 13th documentary on Netflix; plus many more. Yeah, she's dope.
Correct they brought it to her first and she said she couldn't see how she would do it or get into it...either that or she already had the Wrinkle in Time lined up and the scheduling wasn't working, but she definitely had a look at it.
He will be back...They are looking at this soon to be Billion dollar top grossing MCU movie and I wouldn't be surprised if they don't have Ryan involved in other MCU movies period.
jayae springs - I know right! Maybe he's nervous...I hope thats the case. Cause this is the first time I've heard him speak and I'm like "he's the director of these hit films?" I figure he'd speak with a lot more articulation. But no shade, he's putting in that work!
I love it, and I'll tell you why. The colonizers use dialect as yet another way to discriminate against us. I think it's important that we all hear that we don't have to speak a certain way to be absolutely brilliant and capable. His speech is proof. He is one of the most talented and profitable directors of our time, and just as his movie is inspiring to an entire generation, he himself is providing another form of representation that can empower and inspire.
There is a young girl or boy with a speech impediment, or to whom words do not flow as smooth as most.. Finding themselves overwhelmed by the " sting of such responses " they probably hear everyday..( school home , playground ) . To the point that it silences the greatness within " screaming " to be unleashed. When I hear him speak , those are the ones I think of ... My heart soars because I truly hear the clarion call of so many souls of greatness responding to the way he speaks ....with a resounding YES !!! Every time He Speaks !! BTW... Moses had a speech impediment!!
Percy Carry I’m familiar with both of these directors and all of their works including “Wrinkle” and “Black Panther” and they’re both incredible in their own sphere and their own rights. I don’t think the women in black panther would’ve been light skinned had Ava directed it, she would’ve had to stay true to the vision of Wakanda whether she directed it or not, meaning most of the people would be brown and dark skinned. I think we should be rooting for, supporting, and encouraging BOTH of these directors and the stories they’ve told and are going to continue to tell.
Jay SeCUre ......NO! When Ava was asked how she felt about her movie not bringing in the numbers or money she said “I really don’t care if it made the money or not because Black Panther brought in enough money.” To say she did not care that a 100 million dollar budgeted bombed she should never be given another movie with a big budget again and be locked up in director prison. I do not support mediocrity or mulattos calling themselves Black like Ava!
Percy Carry Ava is black regardless of how light or dark her skin is and this is coming from a brown/dark skinned 26 year old woman. If you don’t like her film okay but you’re not about to sit up here and shame her for her skin color. We come in all different shades, shapes, sizes. Ava has stood behind Lena Waithe, Issa Rae, Ryan Coogler, and other dark/brown skinned women and people in the industry. Let’s not act like she doesn’t like or support people with black or and dark brown skin! That has absolutely nothing to do with her filmmaking. She‘s directed Selma and the 13th, one of the most important and riveting documentaries of this generation!! If you don’t like Wrinkle, cool, but don’t discredit her all together and let’s not sit up here and shame her for the color of her skin! Black is black is black is black, period.
TheDoomer _ I didn't look at it as Tchalla was boring, more like we the viewer are following dude on his journey...as for this 1st film...he learned a lot and redeemed the mistakes of his ancestor...that's just growth that can transcend throughout his franchise.
TheDoomer _ word bro...it's like we watching yo f'up and also problem solve...that's why it's so easy to point the finger... I'm sure you seen the movie by now , but Tchalla to some degree knew Killmonger was right on a lot points, just his methods he couldn't get with and he needed to stop.... He reedeem Killmonger by schooling is father and ancestors when they left him and who knows how many folks or people of color they didn't help just to keep the Wakanda secret....his way of healing some of that was fixing things by contributing to the community that Eric grew up ... it's not the best, but it's a start...so yeah...peace brother.
Too bad for Ava, but AWIT isn't going to do well. Not nearly as well as BP at any rate. I saw the trailer and it seemed very bad. Edit: 15 mins in and my opinion is holding even stronger. Ava, as good as she may be, seems like a typical sjw considering how many times she uses "black/person of color" and "woman" in any answer
Saying she's not talented, doesn't make it true. But you're just a miserable person like the rest of the internet trolls. I for one think they're both talented but that's just me.
Ryan Coogler is so special. no code switching. He is who he is 24/7. Also no social media?? who is this guy! can we get 1 million more Ryan Coogler's in the world.
Mercedes Lee Yes... I am so impressed with Coogler's wisdom and insight at such a young age... A GENIUS...
Both Ava and Ryan are extremely talented
instablaster
Talented and gifted.
you must have a different definition of "Talented" or your standards are extremely low to be impressed.
I love hearing this brother talk.
I love Ava’s voice. So sultry.
Neeshpeesh123 sexy af
Ryan is such a humble guy and Ava is so encouraging. Awesome to see their support of one another.
Never seen Ava before. She is beautiful, and I love her voice! Black Panther was dope, can’t wait to see wrinkle in time!
Samuel Gonzalez Ava directed the King biopic Selma.
Samuel Gonzalez
If you get an opportunity see the interview with Ava and Oprah. Ava directed the documentary 13th. It’s awesome about systemic mass incarceration and its inception since slavery. Powerful.
Watch the trailers for it first. It is not Black Panther
Samuel Gonzalez she has several films on netflix you can check out
Samuel Gonzalez don't waste your money seen it and I fell asleep zzzzzz on Ava movie
I love the fact that Ryan has a bit of a lisp and stutter and doesn't let him stop being great. I love Ava, so I am proud to see black comradery, this is how we have always been at our roots. There is no competition amongst your brothers and sisters there is room for us all to thrive and be great.
My two favorite directors 🙏🏾✊🏾💕
You know it! The talent doesn't hurt, too.
Both are amazing directors and i look forward to seeing more great films from the both of them in the years to come.
I get a slight big sis little bro vibe.
Well she is 14 years older :-)
I know! They are so great together!
@@jazzsingerlady Coogler is the superior filmmaker by FAR lol. It's more like he has 14 years older by experience, even though he's a "baby filmmaker."
These two GIVE ME HOPE to keep pushing as an indie filmmaker. Nothing but RESPECT for both of them. We will be meet one day. :-)
Yep! Keep pushin' homie!
Keep pushing GuGu!! I am also inspired by their presence and intelligence. I am a poet , writer and herbalist seeing more hope for my ideas!!!
Black excellence
Day Day At it's best.
but her last movie sucked
lili ks doesn’t matter still black excellence
maybe it's because i haven't watched "Selma" yet , people say it's her best movie so far . if i watch the movie maybe i'll understand the hype around this woman . And i'm sure that if she's excellent , it's only thanks to her brains and artistic bagage not her skin color ( i'm sure that lady would rather have her fans compliment her talent rather than her skin color , just an intuition . will watch Selma today
lili ks I said what I said. It’s really not that deep fam ☺️
Awesome interview! I admire them both for their contributions to film and paving the way to open doors for the up & coming filmmakers of color. Love it.
What Ava did at the end was so inspiring and uplifting! These two artists are incredible and I hope to meet and thank them both for what they are doing, one day.

So proud of these two talented artists and directors. Congratulations to you both.
Both Ava & Ryan such gems to the world and culture. Ava so gracious to Ryan at end and you saw the impact that her words meant to him. Such a moment super super sweet. ❤❤❤❤
Ryan Coogler the realest in the game! Ima keep sayin this on every one of his videos for as long as it’s true.
Two exceptional artists. I love their energy and I loved the fact that they had such respect for each other as well as each other's work.
Both insanely talented and easy on the eye.
I love these two. I'm a big fan of them both. I hope they co-direct a project together one day.
10:38
Every kid should hear this...be confident in yourself and know when to speak up to have ur voice heard and know when not to and listen
Two masterful film makers. So happy.
What an incredible power duo loved the interview soooo much
I worry that white America wants to pit Ava and Ryan against each other. They are both uniquely lovely, powerful and intellectual. Woke enough not to let colonials create barriers. Big up!
That was so good 😊. Thank you to both of you.
49:38 Ryan's humility is heartwarming ❤️
- you can tell that he wanted to hug her at then end ❣️
Great interview! I'm looking forward to see what other masterpieces Ava & Ryan comes up with!
Awesome interview! I didn't want it to end with these 2 ah-mazing and incredibly talented directors!!
Thank you for sharing! Inspiring, to say the least!
Love this interview
I loved the questions asked in this interview!
Two Talented Directors
So freaking inspiring. LOVED this!!!!!
Yay! DuVernay and Coogler. Thank you!
These two such gems!!!
Good interview and may GOD continued blessings upon ALL of them
Perfect actors for the two movies. Ryan was better for BP. Ava feels better for Wrinkle.
These 2: Stillness~Impactful~Perseverance~Spiritual-In-Tuned~Heartfelt. So Happy to be a witness of their industry adventure & what they are bringing 2 the world 💟
I'm so proud of their success 😆😆😆
THIS INTERVIEWER IS SO GOOD!
Dope interview.
That ending, though ! Ava got me emotional with her praise for Ryan. He deserves it and then some and you can tell he really values her opinion. I love their big sister/younger brother relationship, they're both incredible in their own way and I do hope to see them working together in the future.
Legends!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Oakland and Compton...
I bet a bunch of alt-right trolls down voted this video because they can't stand to see two successful black artists.
Nikki Huggins _ I liked your comment just to spite them..lol...peace.
16 isn't worth the time to notice- be happy for the 600 plus who liked it- this conversation was fantastic!
Ava is not who y'all think she is. Ryan deserves the praise, Ava doesn't. They're using her to push their agendas. Example......black panther was black excellence; "a wrinkle in time" (waste of time if u asked me) was a foolish attempt to neutralise black panther.

Woke black people didn't fall for that bullshit, which is why it flopped! Hell....the trailer flopped. The elites are putting her on this pedestal she doesn't belong on......wake up dumb niggas!
Don't focus on them
The more we embrace the human rites of passage with powerful passion the less complicated it is to engulf changing lives and healing experiences I am so proud of our tribunal acknowledgements
I LOVE IT!!! the fact that you have to remember that you are smart too!!!!
Ryan's reactions anytime Ava flexes is amazing and makes me beam. For example 33:45. I love his unwavering support of her.
Ryan is real FAMILY!
Great convo- the Sweet Dreams redo is one of the reasons I really want to see the movie- if the movie matches the feeling that song gives the viewer I'm guaranteed to watch at least twice.
I feel like these two are the George Lucas and Steven steel berg of our time,Except black and better. Can not wait for there future projects 😂😁😀😎
tre wilson I kinda liked how he Spielberg lol
Spelt*
she is definitely Lucas even has the shitty prequel level movie to prove it
jacob harris what does black have anything to do with it? If you think they’re better then just say they’re better.
I remember back when Ava was originally set to direct Black Panther.
Shawn Zamir FFXV yes, and i think it's testament to her maturity and the community of blk artists that while the film wasn't the fit for her, she is still super supportive of ryan and the movie.
Thank God she wasn't.
You Rock Ryan!..Proud of you my brother!
I can't believe all of my favorite people are all black. I grew up liking Christian Bale and a bunch of white authors and leaders, but now, there are so many black people to love and admire, not just because it's popular, but because of their actual achievements and contributions in modern times. This is such a great time for the world.
That was beautifully put.
This interviewer is damn good at his job.
TheDoomer not responsive to his guests at all and just reading off a memorized list of questions
She have directed before
Scandal (TV Show)Vermont Is for Lovers, Too - 2013 some shows,Selma (Movie) and some Saturday Night Life (TV Show)
A short for PRADA's Miu Miu line; a documentary on Venus Williams; commercials for Apple; 2 of her own films (Middle of Nowhere; I Will Follow); 13th documentary on Netflix; plus many more.
Yeah, she's dope.
If they were to create a film together, it'd be epic!!!
Love his accent
Around 47:00, must have been talking about Sade's song?
Inspired
If Coogler won't be back for Black Panther 2, then DuVernay seems she can take over.
She was originally the one to direct right?
I was waiting for the interviewer to ask about that.
Correct they brought it to her first and she said she couldn't see how she would do it or get into it...either that or she already had the Wrinkle in Time lined up and the scheduling wasn't working, but she definitely had a look at it.
He will be back...They are looking at this soon to be Billion dollar top grossing MCU movie and I wouldn't be surprised if they don't have Ryan involved in other MCU movies period.
Well with all that said, Black Panther 2 can't come any sooner.
I hope we explore Wakanda a lot more.
YES FOR ASSATA!
i get teary everytime i think of The Movie Fruitvale Station
I love listening to Ryan and Ava!!! I admire them so much but the host just doesn't get it!!! and its slightly irritating. Great convo tho!
I think the song Ava didn't want to announce yet was the song Sade did for A Wrinkle in Time?
I'm still low key mad that I didn't get an Ava Doll....smh
Dope, I talk about this on my show. I talk about issues in the community on my show.
Hype
He reminds me of Phonte.
Kyle Buchanan is the greatest interviewer
I laughed too hard at INCOGNEGRO.
40:30 hahahaa!
"100 percent"
Fun fact: Ava was asked to direct "Black Panther" first and turned it down.
Julia Roberts Voice :
"Big Mistake...BIG!!" 😂😂😂
Where's the Issa Rae talk?
My problem with the American society is that I always suspect speakers to be moved by commercial reasons:-(
That last comment Ava made was how all Black people should look at each other. Here's hoping.
Ava declined to work with Marvel, but accepted working with DC
That's not a good sign
I remember when she was a Harvey Weinstein super fan. 😅😂😅
I hate listening to Ryan speak, but I love what he has to say... So Damn conflicting.
jayae springs - I know right! Maybe he's nervous...I hope thats the case. Cause this is the first time I've heard him speak and I'm like "he's the director of these hit films?" I figure he'd speak with a lot more articulation. But no shade, he's putting in that work!

Evelyn Marie Exactly! This ^^^^!
what you said. shame on that guy saying that about Coogler. the colonizers really messed us up
There is a young girl or boy with a speech impediment, or to whom words do not flow as smooth as most..
Finding themselves overwhelmed by the " sting of such responses " they probably hear everyday..( school home , playground ) .
To the point that it silences the greatness within " screaming " to be unleashed.
When I hear him speak , those are the ones I think of ...
My heart soars because I truly hear the clarion call of so many souls of greatness responding to the way he speaks ....with a resounding YES !!! Every time He Speaks !!
BTW... Moses had a speech impediment!!
If Ava DuVernay had done Black Panther all the women would have been light brights
Percy Carry that’s a lie
Jay SeCUre ...... you must not be familiar with that disaster of a movie called “A Wrinkle in Her Butt”
Percy Carry I’m familiar with both of these directors and all of their works including “Wrinkle” and “Black Panther” and they’re both incredible in their own sphere and their own rights. I don’t think the women in black panther would’ve been light skinned had Ava directed it, she would’ve had to stay true to the vision of Wakanda whether she directed it or not, meaning most of the people would be brown and dark skinned.

Next time, remove the moderator.
So that explains why T'challa himself is boring in Black Panther. Coogs ain't feeling the character, but the world around him.
TheDoomer _ I didn't look at it as Tchalla was boring, more like we the viewer are following dude on his journey...as for this 1st film...he learned a lot and redeemed the mistakes of his ancestor...that's just growth that can transcend throughout his franchise.
Yeah I can see your point.

it's not the best, but it's a start...so yeah...peace brother.
Too bad for Ava, but AWIT isn't going to do well. Not nearly as well as BP at any rate. I saw the trailer and it seemed very bad.
Edit: 15 mins in and my opinion is holding even stronger. Ava, as good as she may be, seems like a typical sjw considering how many times she uses "black/person of color" and "woman" in any answer
Why,because A Wrinkle in Time has white people in it?
Sky Bunny Ye lol.😂😂 just kidding..😁
Ryan Coogler is talented. Ava DuVernay is not.
Agreed. Ava DuVernay is a hack.
Just curious, what makes ava not talented?
To say Ava is not talented would be untrue. You're just a hater.
Um, she's not talented. Bye:)
Saying she's not talented, doesn't make it true. But you're just a miserable person like the rest of the internet trolls. I for one think they're both talented but that's just me.
She annoying...what is she Ryans handler???...
No, Ryan is hers. Lol
Chekita Turner na...look how she is in control. ..look how he looks to her to speak...like he is scared
Ava's way more seasoned and media savvy than Ryan. Ryan never seems too comfortable in interviews, but always comes across as authentic.
Typical liberal woman. They want control. They miss their slaves. Devoid of true artistic passion and hard work like Ryan.
greatness
