Revealed! The first images from Chadwick Boseman's last film 'Ma Rainey's Black Bottom'

<p>Not often do you come across an actor who walks the talk. ‘Black Panther’ actor Chadwick Boseman was one of those.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a recent revelation, Sienna Miller revealed how Chadwick Boseman did something respectful for her. She revealed that the late actor took a pay cut for her to be compensated fairly for her work on their film together, ‘21 Bridges’.&nbsp;</p>

<p>She said, “He produced 21 Bridges, and had been really active in trying to get me to do it. He was a fan of my work, which was thrilling, because it was reciprocated from me to him, tenfold. So he approached me to do it, he offered me this film, and it was at a time when I really didn’t want to work anymore. I’d been working non-stop and I was exhausted, but then I wanted to work with him.”</p>

<p>She continued, “I didn’t know whether or not to tell this story, and I haven’t yet. But I am going to tell it, because I think it’s a testament to who he was. This was a pretty big budget film, and I know that everybody understands about the pay disparity in Hollywood, but I asked for a number that the studio wouldn’t get to. And because I was hesitant to go back to work and my daughter was starting school and it was an inconvenient time, I said, ‘I’ll do it if I’m compensated in the right way.’ And Chadwick ended up donating some of his salary to get me to the number that I had asked for. He said that that was what I deserved to be paid.”</p>

<p>Sienna added, “It was about the most astounding thing that I’ve experienced. That kind of thing just doesn’t happen. He said, ‘You’re getting paid what you deserve, and what you’re worth.’ It’s just unfathomable to imagine another man in that town behaving that graciously or respectfully. In the aftermath of this I’ve told other male actor friends of mine that story and they all go very, very quiet and go home and probably have to sit and think about things for a while. But there was no showiness, it was, ‘Of course I’ll get you to that number, because that’s what you should be paid.’”</p>

Disney honours 'Black Panther' Chadwick Boseman with wall mural

<p>Actress Lupita Nyong'o gave an emotional tribute to her 'Black Panther' co-star Chadwick Boseman recently. Lupita remembered Chadwick as someone who possessed 'immortal energy'.<br />
<br />
Boseman died on August 28 following a four-year-long secret battle with colon cancer. He was 43.<br />
<br />
He attained global stardom as T'Challa of the fictitious African country Wakanda aka superhero Black Panther in the MCU films such as 'Captain America: Civil War', 'Black Panther', 'Avengers: Infinity War' and 'Avengers: Endgame'.<br />
Nyong'o, one of Boseman's colleagues who had not publicly reacted to his passing for this long, shared a poignant note on Instagram as an attempt to "make sense" of the actor's demise.<br />
<br />
"I am struggling to think and speak about my friend, Chadwick Boseman, in the past tense. It doesn't make sense. The news is a punch to my gut every morning," she begins.<br />
<br />
"I am aware that we are all mortal, but you come across some people in life that possess a immortal energy, that seem like they have existed before, that are exactly where they are supposed to always be - here! ... That seem ageless.... Chadwick was one of those people," she wrote on Tuesday.</p>

<p><br />
The actor, who played Nakia, an undercover spy for Wakanda and T'Challa's love interest in the 2018 blockbuster, said she was struck by Boseman's "quiet powerful presence" when they started working on the film.<br />
<br />
"Chadwick was a man who made the most of his time, and somehow also managed to take his time. You got the sense that he was fully present and also somehow fully aware of things in the distant future. As a result, I noticed that Chadwick never seemed rushed! He commanded his time with ease..."</p>

<p>Nyong'o said Boseman, who led 'Black Panther' as the first MCU film with a predominantly black cast, was capable enough to shoulder the movie that went on to break new ground both in pop culture and at award shows for celebrating black identity.<br />
<br />
'Black Panther' was a major hit for Disney-owned Marvel Studios, grossing over USD 1.3 billion in worldwide gross and becoming the first superhero film to be nominated for the best picture at Oscars.<br />
<br />
The film took home three trophies for original score, costume design and production design.<br />

"Chadwick's hands were strong enough to carry the weight of the film and free enough to clasp mine when I needed it... I think he understood the power of words and chose to manifest power through his word. He used his mouth to build, to edify, never to break," she added.<br />

'Saturday Night Live' pays tribute to Chadwick Boseman with rerun of his old episode

<p>Soon after learning that 'Black Panther'&nbsp;star Chadwick Boseman had died at age 43, fans urged Marvel Studios not to recast the role, setting up a dilemma for the studio planning a sequel to Hollywood`s first major superhero film with a predominantly Black cast.<br />
<br />
Writers, academics and activists - speaking to Reuters about the film’s cultural impact and Boseman’s performance - believe Marvel and its parent company, Walt Disney Co, should honor Boseman’s legacy with a storyline that anoints a new Black Panther from the film’s existing cast or elsewhere in the Marvel Universe.</p>

<p><strong>Also read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="http://13.235.153.162/entertainment/hollywood/news-When-Chadwick-Boseman-got-teary-eyed-while-talking-about-his-two-young-fans-who-died-due-to-cancer-323904" hreflang="en">When Chadwick Boseman got teary eyed while talking about his two young fans who died due to cancer</a><br />
<br />
''They should really consider following the storyline of the comic book and advancing Letitia Wright (who plays Shuri, the tech genius sister of Boseman`s character) into that central role,''&nbsp;said Jamil Smith, a senior writer at Rolling Stone.<br />
<br />
''We’ve seen her in action. We’ve seen her in the middle of these fights. Why would we not think she’d have the courage and strength to become the next Black Panther?'' That strategy could help ease in fans who would have a hard time seeing a different male actor continue the role.<br />
<br />
''Maybe the answer, for those of us who aren’t yet ready to see someone else in that suit, is to pass the reins a little earlier than they had expected and allow Shuri to take on the mantle maybe for a 'Black Panther 2'," said April Reign, #OscarsSoWhite creator and vice president of content strategy for Ensemble, a content studio.<br />

'Black Panther',&nbsp;based on the pioneering Marvel Comics character that first appeared in 1966, generated $1.35 billion in box-office sales, three Academy Awards and a best picture Oscar nomination, and acclaim for its titular star, who died on Aug. 28.

Although other studios have experienced the sudden deaths of franchise stars - and have recast, for other reasons, titular roles like Batman and Spider-Man - Marvel's decision holds more weight because 'Black Panther'&nbsp;was a much-celebrated Black superhero movie, starring an actor beloved by fans for the dignity he brought to the role.<br />
<br />
The 2018 film broke new ground with its predominantly Black cast, helmed by a Black director. Boseman played the character of King T’Challa, who presides over the futuristic African nation of Wakanda. Produced with a $200 million budget, it was praised for its diversity, after years of criticism about the lack of actors and filmmakers of color in Hollywood.</p>

Soon after learning that 'Black Panther' star Chadwick Boseman had died at age 43, fans urged Marvel Studios not to recast the role, setting up a dilemma for the studio planning a sequel to Hollywood`s first major superhero film with a predominantly Black cast. Writers, academics and activists - speaking to Reuters about the film’s cultural impact and Boseman’s performance - believe Marvel and its parent company, Walt Disney Co, should honor Boseman’s legacy with a storyline that anoints a new Black Panther from the film’s existing cast or elsewhere in the Marvel Universe. Also read: When Chadwick Boseman got teary eyed while talking about his two young fans who died due to cancer ''They should really consider following the storyline of the comic book and advancing Letitia Wright (who plays Shuri, the tech genius sister of Boseman`s character) into that central role,'' said Jamil Smith, a senior writer at Rolling Stone. ''We’ve seen her in action. We’ve seen her in the middle of these fights. Why would we not think she’d have the courage and strength to become the next Black Panther?'' That strategy could help ease in fans who would have a hard time seeing a different male actor continue the role. ''Maybe the answer, for those of us who aren’t yet ready to see someone else in that suit, is to pass the reins a little earlier than they had expected and allow Shuri to take on the mantle maybe for a 'Black Panther 2'," said April Reign, #OscarsSoWhite creator and vice president of content strategy for Ensemble, a content studio.

<br />
Jordan also wrote about being "forever linked" with Boseman."One of the last times we spoke, you said we were forever linked, and now the truth of that means more to me than ever. Since nearly the beginning of my career, starting with 'All My Children' when I was 16 years old you paved the way for me," Jordan wrote."You showed me how to be better, honor purpose, and create legacy. And whether you`ve known it or not...I`ve been watching, learning and constantly motivated by your greatness. I wish we had more time.

"We dedicate tonight’s show to a man whose spirit touched so many. He’s a true hero, not just on screen, but everything he did. His impact lives forever,” Palmer said. Boseman`s death on Friday of colon cancer brought an outpouring of tributes ranging from former US President Barack Obama to Oprah Winfrey and 'Black Panther' director Ryan Coogler. Boseman had been diagnosed in 2016, his family said, but had not publicly disclosed his illness. The VMA awards show on Sunday also ran clips of Boseman accepting an MTV Movie Award in 2018 for his role as king of the fictional African kingdom Wakanda in 'Black Panther,' and aired a black screen with the words 'Rest in Power.' The groundbreaking 2018 superhero movie, the first in the genre to feature a predominantly Black cast, jumped back into the top five on the Apple and Amazon movie charts on Sunday. ABC television changed its schedule on Sunday to air the 'Black Panther' film and hosted a tribute to the actor`s life and work. His family`s tweet announcing his death on the actor`s Twitter account became the most-liked posting ever on Twitter, the social media platform said on Saturday. It had 7.2 million likes by Sunday. Coogler described Boseman in a statement on Sunday as "an epic firework display" and said he had been unaware that Boseman was ill while filming 'Black Panther.' Boseman`s other screen credits included playing Jackie Robinson, who broke Major League Baseball`s color bar, and funk musician James Brown.

Morning news brief: Trump's 'highest respect' to Shinzo Abe, Chadwick Boseman dies and more

<p>Chadwick Boseman's death has sent shock waves among his fans across the world. The actor lost his battle to colon cancer on Friday, August, 28.

“All of it’s been very personal, just watching the kids experiencing it. There are two little kids, Ian and Taylor, who passed from cancer. Throughout our filming, I was communicating with them knowing that they were both terminals. And what they said to me, and their parents said, [is] they’re trying to hold on until this movie comes,” Boseman recalled.<br />
<br />
He went on, saying that “knowing that that will be something meaningful to them but it’s to a certain degree it’s a humbling experience because you like this can mean that much to them you know but seeing how the world has taken is on see how the movement is how it’s taking on a life of its own.”<br />
<br />
“I realized that they anticipated something great and I think back now to a kid and just you know waiting for Christmas to come waiting for my birthday to come or I’m waiting for a toy that was going to that. I did live life waiting for those moments and so it put me back in the mind of being a kid just to experience those two little boys’ anticipation of this movie.”</p>

And what they said to me, and their parents said, [is] they’re trying to hold on until this movie comes,” Boseman recalled. He went on, saying that “knowing that that will be something meaningful to them but it’s to a certain degree it’s a humbling experience because you like this can mean that much to them you know but seeing how the world has taken is on see how the movement is how it’s taking on a life of its own.” “I realized that they anticipated something great and I think back now to a kid and just you know waiting for Christmas to come waiting for my birthday to come or I’m waiting for a toy that was going to that. I did live life waiting for those moments and so it put me back in the mind of being a kid just to experience those two little boys’ anticipation of this movie.”
