Marvel dedicated an exciting video to African-American actor Chadwick Boseman, who died prematurely at the age of 43 due to colon cancer.
Boseman became the first black superhero to get his own independent film in the record-breaking Marvel franchise.
“Black Panther”, set in the imaginary African kingdom of Wakanda, has been adored by critics and audiences alike.
The first comic book film to be nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars, grossing over $1 billion worldwide.
The four-minute video sees Kevin Feige, director Ryan Coogler and his cast colleagues Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong’o, Angela Bassett, Letitia Wright, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson and Robert Downey Jr. talk about the actor as King T’Challa both in the Marvel universe and in real life.
The video finally ends with a short clip by Boseman talking about the importance of Black Panter: “I think, if done well, it gives people hope. I have discovered that it means a lot”, and a touching message that reads: “You will always be our King”.
