Chadwick Boseman fights without Black Panther suit for 'Message from the King'
Watch Next

He may be a prince in Wakanda, but in his new Netflix movie, Chadwick Boseman plays a King. Jacob King is on a quest to avenge his sister's death and ends up mired in the criminal underworld of Los Angeles.

The brutal, bloody trailer is full of familiar faces, including Teresa Palmer, Luke Evans, Alfred Molina, and Harry Potter's Tom Felton. Bianca's (Sibongile Mlambo) death ripples disastrously for the men who killed her and for Jacob as he fights for justice.

Message from the King starts streaming August 4.
