A year after being mistaken for a bank robber in Atlanta, Black Panther filmmaker Ryan Coogler has finally opened up about the event. Despite this, the star’s enormous wealth proves that he is not the type to break into a bank.
The handcuffing and escorting of Ryan out of the bank on January 7 startled fans across the world.
Films like Black Panther, the Creed franchise, and Fruitvale Station catapulted him to stardom. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is the project on which he is currently working.
Ryan Coogler’s net worth is a whopping $1.2 billion.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Ryan Coogler is worth $25 million.
Ryan was born in California to a community organizer mother and a juvenile jail probation counselor father. During college, he took a creative writing class.
USC’s School of Cinematic Arts encouraged him to take up screenwriting, so he enrolled in the three-year master’s program. He learned how to make short films there.
Apart from being a successful mainstream director, the filmmaker has also worked as a boom and sound editor, sound mixer, and assistant cameraman behind the scenes.
The star’s early work includes executive producing ESPN 30 for the ’30s The Day the Series Ended in 2014.
Space Jam: A New Legacy and Judas and the Black Messiah were two of his most recent projects. Both films were co-produced by their lead actor and actress.
Black Panther, Ryan Coogler’s critically acclaimed blockbuster, took home six Oscars in 2019, including best picture.

THE DIRECTOR OF BLACK PANTHER EXPLAINS THE INCIDENT
The director told Variety, “This circumstance should never have happened. After working with me to resolve the issue, Bank of America said, “We have now moved on.”
After attempting to withdraw $12,000 from a Bank of America, the 35-year-old director was arrested and handcuffed on January 7.
“I’d like $12,000 cash out of my checking account,” read the message attached to the withdrawal form. He was dressed in all black, with sunglasses, a green sweatshirt, and an all-white face mask, as he approached the counter at the bank. Please allocate the funds to another location. “I’d prefer to remain undetectable.”
There was, however, an error in judgment by the bank teller, who mistakenly triggered an alert and contacted her supervisor, who immediately called the police.
To that point, four Atlanta PD officers arrived at the bank, one of them was filming the situation with a police dashcam. They were joined by Ryan’s coworkers, who had been waiting outside in a car for him.
The police released the director and his friends after validating his name and Bank of America account.
“We profoundly regret that this incident occurred,” a Bank of America spokesperson said in a statement to Variety. We’re sorry to Mr. Coogler; that never should have happened.
INTERACTIVE RESPONSE FROM FANS
