The fact that Chadwick filmed this while battling cancer💔💔

Man, I so can't get over the fact that this is Viola Davis. I don't see Viola Davis, she's not there. She has made her self disappear. OSCAR OSCAR OSCAR!

I'm still not over Chadwick's passing. Rest in power King 💔

BOTH Chadwick and Viola will get the Oscar. Edit: well I never...

Wow. This looks incredible. But like watching Star Wars after Carrie Fisher died, seeing Chadwick Boseman is going to be so heartbreaking.

Is the producer Denzel? The main characters are Viola and chadwick? Okay, I'll watch.

I will need everyone to understand and absorb the fact that Viola is the greatest actress we have right now. Thank you. Also, whoever came up with that Baby Jane makeup is in need of an Oscar asap.

Ms. Viola is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Rip Dr. Boseman

Chadwicks last movie, Im gonna miss his performance in movies. RIP Chadwick

Just hand the Oscar over to Viola now, its a forgone conclusion. No one is beating that performance.

Almost feels like he's still here with us. So much life from the trailer performance alone. RIP Boseman. Ms. Davis, killing it, as per usual.

Chadwick 😭🥺 i miss him already

"I got my time comin' to me". Damn that made me cry. Lost way too young...

Chadwick, you took your exit leaving the crowd wanting more. That's style. Rest in peace, sweet Prince. You done good, Baby. You done GOOD.

I have sickle cell disease and I'm in a ton of pain but graduating soon with my certification in medical billing and coding. Seeing Chadwick literally battle cancer which is also painful yet not complain is such an inspiration. I've tried starting a go fund me because the bone disease Avascular Necrosis has collapsed my front teeth and I don't want to attend graduation looking this way but no luck. R.I.P Chadwick

3 words ..... BEST. ACTRESS. OSCAR!!!

Can't watch Chadwick without my eyes tearing up, especially seeing how small he is. Despite the severity of his cancer he carried on.

I cry not because of this I cry because we are Everything my Black people I am always so proud my people so many layers so much pain and Still We Rise to the Occassion if God is for us who can Be Against US Rip Chadwick and Viola the QUEEN always Delivers

This trailer damn near brung tears to my eyes! Chadwick aint dead....as long as I can always look at him on the screen! WAKANDA FOREVER....REST EASY BROTHER!

l haven't seen the movie yet but that could be a potential Oscar performance by Chadwick and Davis.

Did Viola Davis just out Denzel the Denzeliest Denzel that Denzel ever Denzeled, again?! hahaha. Davis and Boseman look like a tour de force.

Can they just give Mrs. Viola Davis her Oscar now! She's an excellent actress like i be feeling the emotions and words she be saying or expressions cause she act so well. R.i.p Chad🙏 and i can't wait to watch it.

Viola Davis is a BEAST!!! Omg !!! This actress just blows me away everytime !!! I don’t think she is from this world 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Viola Davis & Chadwick Boseman reunited. She played his Mother in the James Brown movie. This movie is going to be good! 🤗

Oh dear heart, will I ever stop tearing up. It's not like I knew the man but he sure lived and fought a good fight. I can't wait to see this, Ms. Viola is King!💚

R.I.P. Chadwick, you went out with a big bang. you'll be long remembered by your contribution to cinema. a shortlived but rich, impressive career

They're Together Again, Remember She & Chad Were Mom & Son In James Brown. RIH Chadwick 😘😘

My great grandmother lived across the street from Ma Rainey and I used to trick a treat at Ma Rainey's house in Columbus, GA near 6th & 8th street.

Would love to see Viola win a second Oscar. Either way, she's going to go down as one of the all time Greats!

YASSSSSSS! CAN'T WAIT....BYE BYE HOLLYWOOD, NETFLIX IS HERE & GIVING US FULL MOTION PICTURES!!

Mo'Nique received an Emmy nod for playing Ma Rainey and Viola Davis will get her fourth Oscar nod for playing the same role!!!

Chadwick and Viola. Powerhouse duo. With Denzel in the mix, how can you go wrong? Looks like they did right by Ma Rainey.

What a transformation by Viola Davis. I can't wait to watch it. RIP Chadwick.

Chills. Thank the heavens above we get one more Chadwick Boseman performance. Rest in Power, King.

Sorry but I'm still not over Chadwick's death....His shadow's all over the trailer. I feel hurt whenever I see him. I've never been so affected by an actor before. And don't even live in America. My God. I hope I see him in Heaven when I'm gone too. Dayum.

Gave me chills. Give props to the legend August Wilson. Tks for producing Denzel.

This trailer deserves an award. Wow.

She's has got the right movie at the right time! Been killing it for years and whenever she tears up onscreen, she gets to me everytime.

REST IN POWER BROTHER CHADWICK......YESSSSSSSSS.........*shedding tears*

This movie is going to be EVERYTHING!!!!

So if this is a 2020 movie then it’s the last movie he filmed before he died RIP. He was really skinny here and he acted with cancer what a great hero he was.

Can't wait. We loss a great one, but gain an awesome legacy to stand behind. He will always be remembered. Thank God for cameras.

if this doesn't win an Oscar, I'm done!

I see an Oscar for best actor and actress in leading role.

- so happy to see a staple in our history receive acknowledgment - viola is outstanding and always has been ❤️ - it’s so surreal seeing Chadwick 🙏🏾

What in the Viola Davis?! This is already so sensational. 🙌

It’s the fact that he was battling cancer this whole time. Omg. Rip king ❤️

I cant wait to to see this. The blues era was such an interesting time, and it looks like Viola knocked another one outta the park!

Chad! Wick! Bose! Man! and Viola Davies and whooo, baby that music sounds HOT

what a champion, he's so frail in the trailer, yet so energetic

This looks great. Chadwick! I didn’t know he had an as yet unreleased film

This is sure an Oscar-worth. Viola might get her second win, and Chadwick won't just be receiving a tribute but a posthumous win. Fingers crossed.

Chadwick Bozeman's ON FIRE 🔥 !!!

Chadwick looked so thin in this movie. I was told he did 5 movies while battling cancer. Rest In Heaven.

I swear it does something for my soul when legends come together! Nothing but love and admiration for Viola and Chadwick. Thank you, Chadwick, for yet another opportunity to revel in your artistry.

I love that Denzel Washington is producing it. I hope more black writers and producers becomes a norm in the acting industry!

Absolutely wonderful viola and Chadwick... RIP Chadwick

I would like to thank Monique 's performance in Betsie as Ma Rainey to be the inspiration for this film . I am looking to the Queen Viola Davis who should rearranged the vowels in her name as Voilá as she crushes yet another performance. Rest in paradise King Chadwick Boseman , I am looking forward to his performance as well. This should be a masterpiece.

Hard to watch this and see the life in Chadwick's acting, and remember he has passed.

Chadwick Boseman = a true superhero and a true king. Chadwick will always be our Black Panther and NO ONE, I mean NO ONE can replace him. Rest in Power and Wakanda Forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chadwick: I got my time coming to me That made me shed a tear cuz his time did come but it came too soon😭

I only saw 10 seconds before deciding I will cancel any plans I had in order to watch this

Can’t believe he’s gone. Hurts

Mind Blown... What can’t Viola Davis can’t do. She can sing, act, she can play the bad guy in Suicide Squad 💕💃👑👑 Give Chad & her a Oscar

Viola Davis has got to be one of the most brilliant actors of this generation.

I am a simple man, I see black panther I click.

Chadwick is insanely good in this....such a loss....RIP

Wow! That film has all the makings to be fantastic. As a lifelong fan of Denzel Washington, I look forward to seeing his productions. This trailer depicts massive performances from both Davis and Boseman. I’m looking forward to seeing this film. R.I.P Chadwick Boseman, being able to see your strength in your work is nothing short of awe worthy. Knowing you were able to perform through your battle is proof of what people are capable of.

August Wilson is my favorite playwright. Then to have this be Chadwick Boseman's last film, so heartbreaking. Rest in Power my King 👑.

This movie will be amazing not only for the stars that are in it but the star Ma Rainey herself first black woman to have an independent train business doing her own shows!

Seeing Chadwick just makes me want to cry. What a talented, beautiful man and such a terrible loss.

As a jazz singer, it warms my heart to see movies with historical accuracy like this being made. Getting the stories out there so people today understand the price musicians paid when making this music and living life back then - how they struggled, were taken advantage of, and overcame. Being a musician wasn't for the weak. It still isn't. 💖💖💖💖💖

For Chadwick

Monique played the hell out of ma Rainey's I will love to see how viola do they are both amazing

I just saw the preview and not only does it have a star studded cast and producer it is uplifting and inspiring bravo. Mr. Washington I'm watching you at your set of privilege and you do understand and even overstand the power you can and do empower in reaching and teaching your audience. Chadwick he was and will away be etched in my heart as a man of character and honor. Our treasure Ms. Davis is a Chameleon she in bodies her craft and becomes, sweet innocent,hard grimy,matter of fact don't mess with me to mama...the list goes on. I don't want to over look anyone's contributions as I stop here but Sir you did that and I see you watching from a far living in the knowing.

Amazing!! yes!! Finally the true story about the so so many forgotten Black Women who set the sassy style of rhythm and music of so many past and present performers. Ma Rainey was the Queen!! It is so important we honor these legends🙏🏾🥂 Thank you Denzel, Viola and amazing Chadwick🙏🏾🥰

Netflix is going crazy like 2020 damn⚡️🔥🔥

'Yeah, Just Like That' said all the Performers '👊🏾'

We miss you Chadwick, you were a wonderful actor.

Viola Davis talented talented talented!!!! Chadwick ✊🏾❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

There’s too many greats in this, l need a minute to process how amazing this is going to be!

Okay this movie has gotten me excited which I have not been for a movie in a long time. Great director with great actors.

I hope this encourages people to read more August Wilson. Man was a genius

YESYESYES Next biopic on Big Momma Thornton!! Amazing guitarist, vocalist, and performer!

Awww, Chadwick 💔 bless xo

Still not Ok about Chad. Imma need some time before I watch this.

Chadwick was so strong.... 💪 He was indeed an hero ❤ I can't stop crying and I haven't seen the movie yet💔it broke my heart

Viola Davis is a highly underrated actress troupe zero on Primetime is one of the best Viola Davis films I've ever seen this performance looks magnificent

Damn this trailer has me in near tears.

Viola is queen. It breaks my heart that Chadwick is gone. I didn't know him personally but during his short time here, he was so humble, gifted, and talented. He didn't do a film I didn't like. He was a powerhouse actor and I will keep his wife and family in my prayers.

Chadwick thank you for your beautiful talent. Rest peacefully King

Ms. Viola u rock!!!!! Mr. Chadwick u are so missed and you rock too!!!!

And the oscar goes to...

The last gift! Idk if I can see this I’m already to emotional but it looks sooo so good

Watched this last night with my parents. Genuinely one of the best movies I've ever seen. So many amazing performances, Chadwick and Viola killed it but truthfully the entire cast held their own with even the smallest parts. Such a detailed and intricate portrayal of generational trauma too. Left me gutted.

A thousand reasons why but I got to narrow it down. 1. August Wilson - I cut my theater teeth on The Piano Lesson 2. Viola Davis - I ain't got to say it 3. The setting is Everything for me 4. Is that Gerald Turner? He looks Great! 5. Denzel Production 6. Chadwick 😭 Don't know whether to cry, run, scream, laugh or throw up. Oscars all around

Nate Senior and Annalise Keating escaping from the FBI

I love Viola, but I could've seen Audra McDonald in this role. Looks similar to the Shuffle Along musical, which George C. Wolff also directed. But then again, Denzel starred with Viola in Fences, both on Broadway and the film. Great to see Chadwick again; still very sad to lose an amazing talent so early.

Chadwick really gave his best here. He was so beautiful.

I love old time movies about Black people-when the music was amazing, and people were bettering their lives and the community simultaneously
