In Hollywood, it's not uncommon for co-stars to not get along. On-set cat fights or not-so-subtle shade in interviews always keep movie fans fascinated and the gossip mill running. But that was far from the case for Chadwick Boseman and Michael B. Jordan in Black Panther. As Boseman acknowledged in a 2019 birthday post to his pal, "What a journey it's been. Happy birthday, brother. #BlackPantherFam." The two became like family, with their deep care and respect evident everywhere from social media messages to chemistry on the press circuit.
In a February 2018 interview with KISS FM UK, Boseman spoke highly of working with Jordan and the rest of the cast, especially since as the lead, he got to interact with so many people. He said, "It's just fun to come in and play with an all-star team." After Black Panther's SAG Award win in January 2019, Boseman praised his co-stars-turned-friends yet again, writing on Instagram, "'To be young, gifted and black...' There is a place for us. There is a screen for us. Thank you to SAG-AFRTA for the appreciation and celebration of our work."
During a joint MTV News interview in February 2018, Boseman and Jordan spoke about the vision they shared with director Ryan Coogler. Jordan recalled, "If we do this thing right, it could be something that could impact generations to come and that's kind of the approach that we took on it."
