La muerte de Chadwick Boseman, el 28 de agosto de 2020 como consecuencia de cáncer de colón, ha sido una de las más dolorosas en este año para el mundo del cine y los fanáticos de los súper héroes. Él dio a vida a Black Panther.

Ahora vivirá por siempre en un mural en Downtown Disney, California. Fue creado por el artista Nikkolas Smith, quien dijo:

Para millones de niños, T’Challa era una leyenda más grande que la vida, y no había nadie más digno para llenar esos zapatos que Chadwick Boseman. Estoy muy agradecido de poder honrar la vida y el propósito de Chadwick de esta manera.

Earlier today, concept artist @Nikkolas_Smith was among the first to see his artwork, “King Chad,” displayed in #DowntownDisney. The art installation pays tribute to ‘Black Panther’ star Chadwick Boseman with the inscription: “As a former Disney Imagineer, I had the honor of working on a major children’s hospital initiative and Avengers Campus as my final two assignments. Seeing Chadwick’s heart for people in-person, and later discovering his courageous battle with cancer, I was inspired to create this tribute to honor his life and legacy. To us, he was and will always be T’Challa. Long Live The King.”

This one is special. My King Chad tribute is now on a wall on display at Downtown Disney. ? It is a full circle moment for me: my final two projects as a Disney Imagineer last summer were working on the Children’s Hospital project and the Avengers Campus. To millions of kids, T’Challa was a legend larger than life, and there was no one more worthy to fill those shoes than Chadwick Boseman. I’m so thankful to be able to honor Chadwick’s life and purpose in this way. I am grateful to the Disney family for being so supportive of my journey as an artist. @waltdisneyimagineering @disney @marvelstudios @disneyland ?✨ #LongLiveTheKing #KingChad #WakandaForever #Phambili #DowntownDisney #BlackPanther #ChadwickBoseman #RIPChadwick #WDI
