Already portraying both Jackie Robinson and James Brown, Chadwick Boseman has one other real-life subject up his sleeve before he dazzles audiences as Black Panther early next year and that happens to be the first black Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall.
In the film Marshall, directed by Reginald Hudlin and co-starring This Is Us star Sterling K. Brown, Kate Hudson, James Cromwell and FOX’s Lethal Weapon star Keesha Sharp, Boseman is tasked with bringing Thurgood Marshall to life in a dramatic film surrounding one of his early court cases, as reported by Shadow and Act.
The film’s synopsis reads:
As the nation teeters on the brink of WWII, a nearly bankrupt NAACP sends Marshall to conservative Connecticut to defend a black chauffeur against his wealthy socialite employer in a sexual assault and attempted murder trial that quickly became tabloid fodder. In need of a high-profile victory but muzzled by a segregationist court, Marshall is partnered with Samuel Friedman, a young Jewish lawyer who has never tried a case. Marshall and Friedman struggle against a hostile storm of fear and prejudice, driven to discover the truth in the sensationalized trial which helped set the groundwork for the Civil Rights Movement to come.
While discussing the upcoming film, Hudlin gushed about his anticipation for audiences to see it, stating “I can’t wait for the world to see this movie. t’s a thriller, not a biopic, about an early case of one of the greatest lawyers in American history. In a time when we need heroes who fight for justice, Marshall is an inspirational movie that brings people together.”
Marshall is scheduled to hit theaters on October 13. You can check out the full trailer BELOW:
