News Sinners Delroy Lindo Says Some of His Favorite Sinners Scenes Were Cut From the Movie Thankfully, Ryan Coogler has since released the deleted footage online. By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on November 20, 2025 Courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures Comment 0 Share New Share Courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures Ryan Coogler’s Sinners is a modern masterpiece, and one of the many compelling performances in it comes from Delroy Lindo’s portrayal of the bluesman Delta Slim. Lindo, who described his character in an interview with Gold Derby as “a virtuoso who is damaged and self-medicating and has these internal conflicts,” didn’t play the piano or harmonica before he took on the role. While shooting the film, however, he was given his first chance to sit in front of a piano and sing, something that he had never done before. In the interview, Lindo also shared that the extended scene of Delta Slim in the car with Miles Caton’s Sammie and Michael B. Jordan’s Stack included some ad-libbing on his part. “I ended up improvising at the very end of the scene, after talking about my man being lynched and going into song,” he said. “They went right along with me as I improvised; they were right there with me.” Unfortunately, those other scenes of him singing didn’t make it into the final cut of the movie. Lindo said he was disappointed, but then glad that Coogler released the deleted scene online. You can now watch Lindo as Slim singing “My Preaching” for four minutes and forty seconds in the clip below. Enjoy!
