It’s also worth mentioning that even though Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom will go down as Boseman’s final movie, he’ll be heard one more time in Disney+’s upcoming animated series Marvel’s What If…
?, in an episode that explores what would have happened if T’Challa became Star-Lord instead of Black Panther.
Chadwick Boseman left a memorable impression earlier this year on Netflix starring as “Stormin’ Norm” Holloway in Spike Lee’s Da 5 Bloods, so it’ll be interesting to see how his performance in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom compares to that.
