The Viola Davis-led drama is based on blues singer M♔a Rainey and sees Boseman play Levee, a member of Ma’s band whose ambitions get the better of him during a recording session that envelopes the tribulations and trauma of the Black experience in 1920s Chicago.

Boseman, who died of colon cancer in August🐓 at the age of 43 and filmed his scenes for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom in 2019, can be seen in thre🍒e of the four images.
