At the start of 2020, Chadwick Boseman put himself in the shoes of a super cop in the breathtaking thriller Manhattan Lockdown, broadcast this Sunday, January 1, 2023 at 9:05 p.m. on TFX. In this feature film, of which he was also the co-producer, the actor revealed by the hit film Black Panther, who died suddenly in August 2020 from cancer, embarked on a hellish chase to arrest two cop killers, after having cordoned off the island of Manhattan (New York) to trap them. At his side, we found JK Simmons or the actress Sienna Miller. In September 2020, a month after the death of the actor, the latter had revealed to our colleagues from the magazine Empire the extremely generous gesture that the actor had had, to whom Anthony Hopkins had paid tribute to the Oscars 2021towards him before the film.

I had worked tirelessly and was exhausted, but then I wanted to work with him“, explained the star ofAnatomy of a Scandal on Netflix. “It was a pretty big budget movie, and everyone knows about the pay gap between women and men in Hollywood, but I asked for a fee that the studio wouldn’t accept. And because I was hesitant to go back to work as my daughter was starting school and it wasn’t the perfect time, I thought to myself: ‘I will shoot in the film if I am paid adequately‘. And Chadwick ended up donating part of his salary so I could get what I asked for. He said that was the amount I deserved.“
