Ryan Coogler Spills On Love Affair With Coke Freestyle Machine: ‘I Got Involved’

by

Ryan Coogler has consistently demonstrated his talent as a visionary filmmaker with successful and highly praised movies like Creed, Black Panther, and last year’s Sinners. However, the director recently shared that he’s been exploring his creativity in a new, much smaller format: the screen of a mobile phone.

Ryan Coogler recently shared a surprisingly enthusiastic confession on Amy Poehler’s podcast: he loves experimenting with the Coca-Cola Freestyle machines. While not a big soda drinker generally, he admitted he got hooked when the machines allowed custom drink combinations. Coogler, known for his filmmaking vision, seems to appreciate the creative possibilities of mixing different sodas and flavors – like Sprite Zero, French Vanilla Barq’s, and Diet Powerade, or every Fanta flavor with Hi-C and iced tea. This playful admission has quickly become a popular topic on film-focused social media.

Moviegoers at AMC Theatres have noticed that the beloved Nicole Kidman ad, known for its dreamy atmosphere, has been significantly cut short. This is to make room for a longer advertisement promoting Coca-Cola Freestyle machines. Director Ryan Coogler, who seems to have a fondness for these soda dispensers, could potentially create a follow-up to the original Kidman ad, featuring the Freestyle machines prominently. With his film Sinners receiving a record 16 Oscar nominations, this could be part of a fun campaign centered around carbonated drinks. Fans are hoping Coogler will also share his favorite Freestyle drink combination so everyone can enjoy it too.
