Among them is actress Viola Davis, with whom he starred in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, who comments in the trailer: “You know you have to step up when you’re in his presence. He’s looking at your work and he’s, like, really hyper-focused, on the craft, on the process. That’s Chad.”
We will also be joined by Glynn Turman and Taylour Paige, also actors in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, as well as director George C. Wolfe and composer, arranger and producer Branford Marsalis. His Black Panther co-stars will also be there, including Danai Gurira and Andile Nebulane.
