The Black Panther star who passed away in 2020 was inducted as a Disney Legend during the D23 Expo.
Boseman’s brother, Derrick Boseman, accepted the award on his late brother’s behalf.
The film went on to earn over $1.3 billion worldwide and make Boseman a household name.
“Chad was an amazing person,” his brother said in his emotional acceptance speech (viaVariety).
“Plato is credited with coining the phrase that ‘art imitates life.’
But Oscar Wilde came behind him and said, ‘Life imitates art.’
And in Chad’s case, it seems that life is imitating art.
If we pay attention in this thing called storytelling, a story is being told to us all.
Thank you for honoring my brother.
I want to say: Chad, we’ll always love you.
And mom and dad will always love you.
To me, mom and daddy are also legends.
Because it takes a king and a queen to create a king.”
This is just one of Boseman’s posthumous accolades with his contribution as T’Challa.
He recently won a posthumous Emmy Award for his final performance.
