Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman's death shocked the world, and the tributes to the actor continue pouring in. The latest has been unveiled at Downtown Disney in Anaheim, California, with artist Nikkolas Smith responsible for creating a beautiful piece of imagery with Boseman shown exchanging the Wakanda salute with a child wearing a Black Panther mask.

"This one is special. My King Chad tribute is now on a wall on display at Downtown Disney," Smith wrote on Instagram earlier today. "It is a full circle moment for me: my final two projects as a Disney Imagineer last summer were working on the Children’s Hospital project and the Avengers Campus. To millions of kids, T'Challa was a legend larger than life, and there was no one more worthy to fill those shoes than Chadwick Boseman."

"I'm so thankful to be able to honor Chadwick's life and purpose in this way. I am grateful to the Disney family for being so supportive of my journey as an artist," he concluded.

Disneyland remains closed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the Downtown Disney shopping and dining district remains open, and that's where this mural can be found.

That's amazing.

I was just thinking about how Da 5 Bloods kinda disappointed a little bit on first watch because I felt like I missed Chadwick and just wanted to see more of him. His death has really amplified that feeling for me. Just really [frick]ing sad, man. But what a legacy to leave behind.

That's awesome. Honestly the best thing about Black Panther is not because it was a lead black actor with a black cast, cause there's been plenty of those. It was that for the first time there was on the big screen a purely African mythological epic - something that any black child could look to and see themselves a part of. Us Americans with European heritage have plenty of those tales and myths, and those are good things that are important to culture. And black Americans can enjoy those too, but to a lesser degree probably. It's much harder to embrace something you don't identify as your heritage. But an Afro-centric fantasy that rivals any other epic, and shows Africans in a strong, positive light is so necessary and so lacking. It's good to celebrate when these things happen.

Long live the King.

@Super12 - Amen!

Can someone tell me if this was a real image taking by a camera or fan art? I swear I’ve seen it before!

Regardless, what a gorgeous memorial to remember a short lived legend to the genre!

Legendaddy - 9/24/2020, 2:29 PM

@Se4M4NSt4ine - the artist posted it on his Ig feed a while ago, many sites shared it

Se4M4NSt4ine - 9/24/2020, 3:53 PM

@Legendaddy - great thanks!
