Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman has been tapped by STXFilms to produce and star in their upcoming film, "17 Bridges". Boseman will portray a disgraced NYPD detective who, after being thrust into a citywide manhunt for a cop killer, is given a shot at redemption.

Logan Coles has worked with Boseman in the past as his writing and producing partner, and he is set to produce this film alongside “Avengers: Infinity War” directors Joe and Anthony Russo under their recently launched Agbo banner. Mike Larocca of Agbo will executive produce.

Brian Kirk ("Game of Thrones") will direct the film from the script written by Adam Mervis ("The Philly Kid"). 

"17 Bridges" will start filming this September.
