Diana’s life is interrupted when wannabe oil tycoon Maxwell Lord (Pedro Pascal) obtains a magical rock called the dream stone. The artifact grants wishes, but there’s a cost.
BOB MONDELLO, BYLINE: In the play „Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,“ Ma doesn’t show up until almost an hour in. It’s a power move on her part. She likes folks to wait, but no way the movie’s going to keep Viola Davis under wraps for that long. Director George C. Wolfe gives us a glimpse of her right at the start.
For Diana, the stone brings back Steve Trevor (Chris Pine), her love interest from the first film who died sacrificing his life to save others. Unfortunately, to keep Steve in her life, Diana will eventually lose her powers.
To communicate all that, Boseman shakes off the stoicism of Wakandan leader T’Challa (whom he played in several Marvel movies, most notably 2018’s watershed Black Panther) and taps into the frenetic energy last seen in his portrayal of James Brown in Get On Up. Levee is fictional, though, so Boseman needn’t do any mimicry of an icon. He could invent Levee almost entirely, an opportunity that is seized with relish. It’s a thrill, watching Boseman bounce and fluster around. It’s awfully sad, too, knowing that this is the last we’ll see of his talent’s many emerging facets and variations. As in the rest of Ma Rainey, the mournfulness of that meta fact—Boseman died of cancer in August, at the age of 43—does not drown out the verve, the heat of his creative furnace. Boseman’s performance is wondrously alive, one to be savored for many years.
