The Harder They Fall, which debuts on Netflix today, includes a nice tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman.
A post from Netflix's Strong Black Lead Twitter account says, "Our favorite trivia from #TheHarderTheyFall might be the fact that the train is named after our forever king, Chadwick Aaron Boseman."

In the photo above, you can see the train car in the film says "C. A. BOSEMAN" on the side in honor of the late actor. If you watch the movie, keep an eye out for the train that shows up a few seconds after the 27-minute mark.
Boseman passed away in August 2020 after a private four-year battle with colon cancer. He was known for playing Black Panther in the MCU, as well as playing Jackie Robinson in 42, James Brown in Get On Up, and Thurgood Marshall in Marshall.
Other tributes to Boseman since his passing include a statement from Black Panther director Ryan Coogler, nods in Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and a change to the Black Panther intro on Disney+.
The Harder They Fall is a Western film with an all Black leading cast, including Idris Elba, Jonathan Majors, and Regina King. We called the movie "amazing", saying, "The Harder They Fall both subverts and embraces the Western tradition with some spectacular shootouts, slick dialogue, and a top-notch ensemble cast firing on all cylinders."
