Edits & reverts are ongoing about if Boseman should have the descriptor "playwright" in the lead section. That he did write plays is true and verifiable, but is that what he is best-known for?

If it wasn't for Wesley Snipes there would be no marvel movies. ~2026-29781-32 (talk) 21:21, 17 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
