Meanwhile, actor Janeshia Adams-Ginyard spoke to BuzzFeed and revealed what it was like to work alongside Chadwick Boseman as a Dora Milaje warrior on the set of Black Panther.
When asked her what Chadwick was like on set, her face lit up.
“He wanted to make sure everybody knew each other,” she said. “He created a family, and a culture, and an environment where it was like a community.”
“He didn’t care if you worked grips, lights, makeup, hair, if you were number two on the call sheet or number 10,” she said. “He invited you to the house. ‘Come on, come over, party, we got a party. Let’s get together.’ Everybody’s dancing. He was not an elitist.”
“I have been on a few sets where some actors won’t even look in your direction. You ain’t in their same financial tax bracket. But he wasn’t like that,” Janeshia said.
