Chadwick Boseman in police drama ‘17 Bridges’

Chadwick Boseman will step out of Wakanda for the New York police drama 17 Bridges.

STX Entertainment announced on Wednesday that Boseman will star as a disgraced NYPD detective thrust into a citywide manhunt for a cop killer. The film will be Boseman’s first non-Marvel movie following the $1.3 billion box office success of Black Panther. He also appeared in Avengers: Infinity War and has shot its follow-up.

17 Bridges will reteam Boseman with Infinity War directors Joe and Anthony Russo. The Russos will produce the film, to be directed by Brian Kirk from a script by Adam Mervis.

The film will begin shooting in September.
