Chadwick Boseman Reveals How He Got His Black Panther Accent

Chadwick Boseman sits down for his interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday (April 28) in Hollywood.

The 39-year-old actor plays the role of Black Panther in the new movie Captain America: Civil War and he opened up about how he developed his African accent for the film.

“You know how comedians will do a small comedy club before you do the big show? I did an independent film called Message from the King, and I play a South African coming to L.A., a fish out of water story,” Chadwick said. “So I used that as my small comedy club performance to find my dialect coach, to find my base for an authentic African dialect.”
