Chadwick Boseman was many things to many people, but upon the tragic news of his losing a four-year-long battle with colon cancer, we have been privileged to read how his friends defined his career.
To help with the honors, The Walt Disney Company (parent company of Marvel Studios and ABC Television) is broadcasting a special dedicated to the life and legacy of Chadwick Boseman called A Tribute to the King tonight on ABC. The “tribute” will be a commercial-free airing of Black Panther, which will be followed by a detailed review of his work.
And while you may only be focused on his work as T’Challa of Wakanda this evening, Chadwick Boseman was one accomplished actor whose star was still on the rise. The diversity of his stellar career from TV to movies will certainly be on display tonight. Specifically, the man is also the recent king of biopics.

Those were heroes of American folklore and culture, but he will always be etched in our brains as the incomparable King T’Challa of Wakanda–The Black Panther. Becoming the catalyst for millions of young people in urban America and around the world believing they can be more than what they see was an indelible mark on our lives that will never be erased.
Many of Hollywood’s heroic names believe the same. Please enjoy this memorial for Chadwick Boseman. And, don’t forget tonight on ABC, 8/7c.
