Africa-Press – Nigeria. Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman will be honoured with a posthumous star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Known for his portrayal as King T’Challa in the film, Boseman died in February 2020 after a four-year battle with colon cancer.
Per a statement, this year’s honourees were chosen from hundreds of nominations submitted to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce committee at a meeting held earlier this month and ratified by the chamber’s board of directors last week.
“The committee did an amazing job choosing these very talented people. We can’t wait to see each honouree’s reaction as they realise that they are becoming part of Hollywood’s history with the unveiling of their star on the world’s most famous walkway,” Walk of Fame chair Ellen K said.
