‘Black Panther’ Mural With Chadwick Boseman Unveiled at Disneyland

“This one is special. My King Chad tribute is now on a wall on display at Downtown Disney,” he wrote. “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.”

The child in the mural is wearing a hospital gown, to honor the late “Black Panther” star who visited children with cancer at St. Jude campus, while waging a private battle with the disease. The installation is titled, “King Chad.” “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,” Smith continued. “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.”

Boseman was diagnosed in 2016 with stage 3 colon cancer, and over four years, it progressed to stage 4, his family later revealed. Although he never spoke publicly about his diagnosis, he worked through his treatment for much of his film career. While Disneyland’s main park remains closed amid the coronavirus pandemic, Downtown Disney in California is currently open for visitors.

Absolutely love this! ❤️

I love this so much.

🥺

Nice if done for sympathy reasons and not money or woke reasons But I wonder so many white, indian actors etc passed yet no tribute articles or anything I mean disney plus releases indian films but no tribute at their park for SSR Is disney cashing in on BLM through boseman?

Exceptional

😭😭💖💖💖

It’s sad mostly because it’s just another example of blacks having to make up a glorious past rather than living in the real world. Wakanda Never.
