The “Creed” director called the South Carolina native up “to ask if he wanted to read [the script] before I got notes from the studio.”
“That was the last time we spoke. He passed maybe a couple of weeks after I finished,” he added.
“I could tell he was laying down when we were talking. He kicked
[wife Taylor] Simone [Ledward] out because he told her he didn’t want her to hear anything that could get him in trouble with his NDA,” Coogler explained.
The “Fruitvale Station” screenwriter continued, “She didn’t want to leave. I could tell something was up.”
According to Coogler, Boseman insisted he didn’t want to read the sequel’s script so as not to intrude on any of Marvel’s decisions regarding the film.
“I found out later he was too tired to read anything,” Coogler said.
