Legendary actor Chadwick Boseman quickly became a household name and one of the most respected figures in Hollywood with 42 (2013), Get On Up (2014), Da Five Bloods (2020), and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom (2020) under his belt.
With his bright acting future, every Marvel fan lost their superhero in 2020 when news broke that Chadwick Boseman had passed away from colon cancer.

With Chadwick Boseman making his last Marvel and Hollywood appearance as his famous Black Panther (2018) character T’Challa in Marvel’s animated series What If…? (which scored three nominations), the Emmys have nominated Boseman for an Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance.
It’s evident that Chadwick Boseman loved appearing in the Marvel universe, especially with being one of the only main Avengers actors to return for What If…?.
With Marvel Studios moving forward with Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) that’s hitting theaters later this year, Kevin Feige, director Ryan Coogler, and the film’s main cast are reportedly honoring the late Chadwick Boseman in what would have been his solo sequel Marvel movie.
