Marvel Studios honors Black Panther’s Chadwick Boseman with a gorgeous piece of art designed by their head of visual development. Boseman, who became a household name following his role as the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s T’Challa AKA Black Panther, passed away last week after secretly battling colon cancer since 2016. The resulting grief and shock have been accompanied by gratitude for the work he accomplished (while fighting for his life) in a short, yet prolific career.

From his breakthrough performance as Jackie Robinson in 42 to embodying the “Godfather of Soul” in Get on Up and Thurgood Marshall in Marshall, Boseman was no stranger to the pressure of taking on cultural icons prior to playing the king of Wakanda in Black Panther. While fiction, what Black Panther and T’Challa has been able to do for representation in comic book movies (and film in general), has resonated with so many. Not only was Black Panther physically demanding for Boseman, but the role required a tactful amount of empathy, dignity, and regality— all of which Boseman was able to deliver.

Marvel Studios recently shared a piece designed by the head of their Visual Development, Ryan Meinerding, to honor Boseman. The art sees T’Challa at the forefront with Black Panther’s ancestral plane on his suit. Behind his Marvel character, are a couple of other depictions of Boseman; one of which highlights the actor’s 2018 commencement speech at Howard University. Check it out below.

Following in the footsteps of Martin Luther King Jr. and Jackie Robinson, Boseman, a Howard alum, received an honorary doctorate from the university in 2018. The clip of his commencement speech, which was part of the school’s 150th anniversary, has resurfaced online in a big way. In it, Boseman shares his experiences early on in his career; combating stereotypes and respecting his integrity at the risk of unemployment. He tells the graduating class to “press on with purpose” before ending his speech with his fists across his chest and an appropriate spin on “Wakanda Forever”: “I love you, Howard Forever.”

Countless people who knew Boseman, including Marvel coworkers like Kevin Feige, Ryan Coogler, and Michael B. Jordan, have shared moving tributes to the actor online. Their messages are both a testament to how Boseman inspired a generation and his friends/loved ones in their day-to-day. With the knowledge that he continued giving even when he had a reason not to, all eyes will be on his posthumous role in Netflix’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. That film, like his others, has a purpose that extends beyond the screen. Much like how “Wakanda Forever” has become bigger than Black Panther, Boseman’s career did more than just entertain. The piece pictured above may be gorgeous, but it’s nothing compared to the transcendent beauty of Boseman’s art.
