Before he was the Black Panther, Chadwick Boseman turned in two of the most impressive biopic performances in recent years portraying baseball icon Jackie Robinson in 42 and soul legend James Brown in Get on Up. This fall Boseman will be portraying Thurgood Marshall, the first African-American Supreme Court Justice and civil rights pioneer. The film, directed by Reginald Hudlin, focuses on a case early in Marshall’s career, before he became one of the most formidable lawyers and jurists in American history. Co-starring with Kate Hudson, Dan Stevens, and Josh Gad, Boseman’s Marshall will arrive in theaters October 13, 2017.
Hmmm. This is not meant as a knock on the film, but if you have Thurgood Marshall in front of you, and you decide to make a film about something that happened to him before he was Thurgood Marshall, that Something had better be really fascinating.
