The cultural impact of Chadwick Boseman’s acting career, inspiring millions of people around the world through his performances as Jackie Robinson, James Brown and, especially, Black Panther, is as unique as it is profound.

His portrayal of superhero T’Challa, the king of African nation Wakanda, was a landmark moment for representation in Hollywood and ensures his legacy will stretch far beyond the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Black Panther grossed more than 1.3 billion dollars worldwide (about £974 million) and earned a best picture nomination at the Oscars.

But its impact is perhaps better measured in the millions of fans from diverse backgrounds it inspired, fans who had never seen themselves represented on screen by a superhero.
