It would sound like fiction if there weren’t photo evidence, but on the night of Feb. 25, 1964, after Cassius Clay (later Muhammad Ali) won his first heavyweight title, he celebrated with soul singer Sam Cooke, civil rights activist Malcolm X, and football star Jim Brown. Based on a play by Kemp Powers, Regina King’s One Night in Miami… shows each of these legends at a turning point in his life, reimagining the conversations they had about fame, religion, and activism. On a Zoom facilitated by EW, King gathered her four actors to reflect on the making of the film, which is her feature directorial debut.
