Did you know?!

  1. A role that slipped away

    Boseman was fired from the soap opera All My Children after he raised concerns with producers about racist stereotypes in the script, and the role was recast with his future Black Panther co-star Michael B. Jordan.

  2. Big break

    Boseman was considering giving up acting to direct full time when he auditioned for 42, and director Brian Helgeland cast him as Jackie Robinson after he read the hardest scene and auditioned twice.

  3. Getting ready for a role

    To copy Robinson's mannerisms, Boseman spent five months working with professional baseball coaches. Every few weeks they taped his practices and split-screen his technique with Robinson's so he could compare.

  4. A first

    Boseman was the first Black actor to headline a Marvel Cinematic Universe film, and the role also earned him a place on the 2018 Time 100 list of influential people.

  5. Behind the award

    Boseman won a posthumous Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance for the What If...? episode in which he voiced alternate versions of T'Challa.
