For Chadwick Boseman, the pressure of playing such a renowned, significant figure is something of a familiarity, as prior to taking on the leading role in Tate Taylor’s James Brown biopic Get On Up, he played Jackie Robinson in 42.

Yet again his efforts are hugely commendable, and we had the great pleasure of sitting down with the up and coming star to discuss this project. We asked about the pressure, the research, and what it was like working with producer Mick Jagger. Unfortunately our interview was a while before the announcement that Boseman is set to join the Marvel universe as Black Panther – so hey, here’s hoping we get the chance to interview him again for that one too.

Get On Up is released on November 21st, and you can read our review here.
