Although Sinners might have been a better fit for release during the Halloween season instead of in April on the 2025 movie calendar, it’s clear that the vampire film, directed by Ryan Coogler, is a major critical success and has performed well at the box office. Michael B. Jordan starred as the twins Smoke and Stack, and he was joined by Hailee Steinfeld, who played Mary, Stack’s former girlfriend. A line delivered by her character became widely popular online for mature content, and Steinfeld discussed how uncomfortable it was to have that specific quote repeated to her in public.
At the beginning of Sinners, Stack informs Mary that he previously warned her to stay away from him. This leads to a very direct response from Mary (NSFW warning): “I definitely heard you, but then you kissed me passionately and had sex with me so intensely that I assumed you’d reconsidered.” Variety’s Clayton Davis shared portions of this dialogue with Steinfeld during an interview, noting its significant popularity online. Here’s what Steinfeld had to say in response:
I have a lot of respect for you, and I appreciate it. I understand the boundaries. You don’t need to explain them to me. People often mention specific scenes or lines from that film, and it’s always a little uncomfortable when I’m out and about or at the market.
I get that Sinners fans are excited, but it might be best not to bring up that particular line if you ever meet Hailee Steinfeld. Follow Davis’s lead and either mention just a portion of it, or talk about another scene with Mary that you liked. It’s a situation where you can avoid an awkward encounter while still enjoying the meme on TikTok.
Hailee Steinfeld was surprised by what resonated with the Sinners audience regarding her portrayal of Mary, but she acknowledges that predicting audience reactions is always difficult. She explained it this way:
I really wasn’t anticipating that particular line – or any of the lines from Mary that people focused on – to become so popular. You can never predict when something will really take off… and it’s always fascinating to see which parts of a message resonate with people and how they share it.

‘The Research Was My Family’: Hailee Steinfeld shares how exploring her diverse family background helped her prepare for her role in Sinners. She discusses how delving into her mixed heritage was a deeply personal experience that informed her portrayal of the character.
Michael B. Jordan and Hailee Steinfeld are continuing to celebrate the success of their show, Sinners, and I’m really enjoying the behind-the-scenes photo they posted! The picture, which shows some bloody imagery, is clearly meant to build excitement for the film.
Last July, Hailee Steinfeld mentioned how great the connection between Mary and Stack was in Sinners, noting that her character wished she could have a similar “happily ever after” with him. It’s a shame they both had to become vampires to potentially achieve that. However, the ending of Sinners showed that Mary and Stack actually made it through that terrible night in 1932, and sixty years later, they visited an older Sammie at his blues club, appearing unchanged. It was a surprising reveal and a sweet moment for fans. Their enduring love story is a key part of the show.
The cast of Sinners, alongside Hailee Steinfeld and Michael B. Jordan, features Miles Castor, Jack O’Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, and Delroy Lindo, to name a few. The film has been very well-received, with a review from TopMob giving Sinners a perfect score of 5 out of 5 stars. With awards season approaching, there’s hope that Sinners will be nominated for several awards.
Until then, you can check out Sinners whenever you want if you have an HBO Max subscription. As for what Hailee Steinfeld will be doing next on screen, she’s going to lend her voice to Gwen Stacy again in Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, which is scheduled to hit theaters on June 18, 2027. I, for one, am really excited about that!
