The passing of Chadwick Boseman comes after a four-year battle against colon cancer surprised Marvel fans in August of this year.

Yesterday afternoon, Bob Iger, former CEO at The Walt Disney Company, asked fans on Twitter to watch the Black Panther on Disney+.

To all fans of #BlackPanther: watch the film on #DisneyPlus late tonight, for a special tribute to someone that was and will always be near and dear to our hearts.

“To all fans of #BlackPanther: watch the film on #DisneyPlus late tonight, for a special tribute to someone that was and will always be near and dear to our hearts.”

The original version of the MCU intro shows many or all of the characters that have been seen in movies so far. This new version shows the scenes of T’Challa in Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame and Black Panther.

Boseman left a powerful and lasting impact for young people in the African community and the rest of the world, as an impressive actor, as a humanitarian and as a role model.
