Check Out the Trailer of Upcoming Biopic on the First African-American Supreme Court Judge Thurgood ‘Marshall’ Played by Chadwick Boseman [Watch Now]

Before Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcom X, there was Thurgood Marshall. Witness the rise of the man who changed America. Check out the brand new official poster and trailer for Marshall, the biopic on the first African-American Supreme Court Judge, and the fight it took him to reach that epic achievement.

Marshall stars Chadwick Boseman, who previously starred in the biopics on Jackie Robinson (42) and James Brown (Get On Up) as well as Josh Gad, Kate Hudson, Dan Stevens, Sterling K. Brown, and James Cromwell.

The film’s synopsis reads:

Long before he sat on the United States Supreme Court or claimed victory in Brown v. Board of Education, the landmark case that desegregated schools, Thurgood Marshall (Chadwick Boseman) was a young rabble-rousing attorney for the NAACP. The new motion picture, Marshall, is the true story of his greatest challenge in those early days – a fight he fought alongside attorney Sam Friedman (Josh Gad), a young lawyer with no experience in criminal law: the case of Black chauffeur Joseph Spell (Sterling K. Brown), accused by his white employer, Eleanor Strubing (Kate Hudson), of sexual assault and attempted murder.

Directed by Reginald Hudlin, Marshall hits theaters October 13th. Check out the trailer and clips from the upcoming film below.
