The Howard University graduate became a growing household name, by successfully breaking into the Marvel Cinematic Universe to be the first black actor to play a lead role in a superhero movie while being a source of inspiration for African American children and children worldwide.

After years of acting in one biopic after another, Chadwick Boseman's role as Black Panther in the "Avengers" films and the 2018 eponymous blockbuster, Black Panther, the ninth highest-grossing movie of all time, established him as the rare breed of actor with star power. In the 2019 Golden Globe Awards, "Black Panther" ended up taking home the award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture as well as Outstanding Action Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Motion Picture.

Chadwick Boseman became an international superstar after playing T'Challa in 2018's Black Panther, and he allowed so many young people to finally see themselves in a Marvel superhero movie. Not only did he film the strenuous movie while disabled, but Boseman also continued to show up to press events and interact with fans, despite the physical demands of his cancer diagnosis. Wakanda Forever isn't going to forget Chadwick Boseman any more than the rest of the MCU and the fans will.
