Chadwick Boseman, starring as Black Panther in the Marvel movie series, will be playing real life American hero, Thurgood Marshall in the new movie, "Marshall" coming to theaters October 13, 2017.
Long before he sat on the United States Supreme Court or claimed victory in Brown v. Board of Education, Thurgood Marshall was a young rabble-rousing attorney for the NAACP. The new motion picture, Marshall, is the true story of his greatest challenge in those early days – a fight he fought alongside attorney Sam Friedman played by Josh Gad, a young lawyer with no experience in criminal law: the case of black chauffeur Joseph Spell played by Sterling K. Brown, accused by his white employer, Eleanor Strubing played by Kate Hudson, of sexual assault and attempted murder.
