Chadwick Boseman would’ve been a screen legend
who died Friday at 43, as T’Challa in Marvel’s “Black Panther,” the first comic book film to transcend the genre with true artistry, I knew he was the real deal. I was reminded of another enduring cinematic genius: James Earl Jones.Jones made his name by bellowing the plays of August Wilson on Broadway and then became an international superstar as the voice of Darth Vader in 1977’s “Star Wars.”Boseman was poised for a similar household-name trajectory; to be an American icon.
