He spoke about the movie and said, “They had some big shoes to fill with Chadwick Boseman. Without giving it away, they did a great job transitioning on the best they could. It was a little long of a movie, for me. It was like 2 hours and 40 minutes, but it was action the entire time, so it was a good one.” Mahomes mentioned how much he liked the movie as well and that he enjoyed the action in the movie.

Patrick also spoke about the respect he has for Chadwick Boseman and how he had had a pleasant interaction with the actor. He mentioned Boseman and said, “as a great, great dude, man. Really down to earth,” He also said “I got to meet him and his fiancé or his wife, can’t remember exactly what they were (at the time), but they were great people and (he was) someone you’d want to hang out with at any time.” Mahomes had gone to watch the sequel through a special program that he conducts.
