The "Black Panther" star died in August of colon cancer as the movie was in post-production. He chose not to let others know of his illness while he was making the production.
Boseman had been diagnosed in 2016 but did not go public with his illness. He bravely fought his battle in silence and continued to film his most famous roles, during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy.
Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom will hit in selected cinemas in November, before Netflix release in December.
The late actor also starred this year in Spike Lee’s "Da 5 Bloods", a role that might earn him a posthumous best-supporting actor nomination.
It is worth mentioning that Chadwick Aaron Boseman, was born on November 29, 1976, landed his first major role as a series regular on Persons Unknown.
