Brie Larson, who is one of the MCU’s latest recruits and appeared as the titular star of Captain Marvel before reprising her role in Avengers: Endgame alongside Boseman, honored with him a tribute that discussed how he radiated power and peace.

Angela Bassett, who portrayed Ramonda – the mother of T’Challa and Shuri – in both Black Panther and Avengers: Endgame, shared a long heartfelt message about how she knew the actor and how they were destined to work together.

Boseman, a true thespian at heart, was born in South Carolina; he graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in directing at Howard University in Washington D.C. At first, seeking a career to write and direct, he studied the latter creative field in order to better relate to actors.

Moving to Los Angeles, from Brooklyn, New York to pursue an acting career, he soon gained TV credits with the likes of Law & Order, CSI: NY, ER, Lincoln Heights and Persons Unknown before eventually scoring his first leading role in 42, portraying real-life baseball star Jackie Robinson and the rest is history.
