That is not an actual black box. The images are just not 16:9 aspect ratio.
Those come from the AniList plugin.
Those images used to be classified as banners in Jellyfin, but a change has been made due to reasons.
Those now appear under backdrops.
So if you travel to the anime it's from (Dandadan from the image I see) and you open the image settings, you will see that the backdrop is not a full-sized 16:9 image.
You can fix this by disabling AniList as a metadata provider, or making something like TMDB being a higher priority so those full-sized backdrops get prioritized.
If you want proof, here's the AniList page for Dandadan: https://anilist.co/anime/171018/Dandadan/
You can see that the main banner is not a 16:9 image.
