The head of Marvel Studios' Visual Department, Ryan Meinerding, designs a beautiful piece of art honoring their king of Wakanda, Chadwick Boseman.

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.
