Chadwick Boseman has been remembered on what would have been his 44th birthday.
Marvel have changed the opening credits for ‘Black Panther‘ on Disney+ to honour the late actor, who passed away earlier this year after a secret battle with colon cancer.
Bob Iger wrote on Twitter: “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.
