• Movie poster for “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.” On the left, Chadwick Boseman as Levee wears a navy-blue pinstripe blazer and gray tweed pants as he blows firmly into a trumpet. To the right, Viola Davis as Ma Rainey wears an ornate, full-length navy-blue dress with silver sequin detailing, a thick gold headband, gold drop earrings, and thick black eye makeup that runs down her perspiring face. She holds a large navy-blue feather by her side, and lifts her skirt up slightly to reveal her leg. Her lips form an O shape as if she is singing. The gold stylized title, “August Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” appears across the top, next to the text, “Academy Award Winner Viola Davis and Chadwick Boseman.” The tagline, “Everything Comes Out in the Blues,” is at the bottom center above the Netflix logo.
