Actor Chadwick Boseman’s portrayal of historic and fictional characters both have left a mark on all of pop culture for years to come. But nothing comes close to the events that transpired when he took on the mantle of the Black Panther for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Earlier today Marvel Entertainment released a video of backstage footage and his Avengers co-stars talking about Boseman and his impact on all of us.
