Artist Nikkolas Smith has painted a mural of Chadwick Boseman that Disney has commissioned to appear on a wall in Downtown Disney in Anaheim.
Smith, who worked as a Disney Imagineer and who has become known for his recent artwork of George Floyd and Colin Kaepernick, said he witnessed the late “Black Panther” star’s impact on the world when he worked at a children’s hospital and on the Avengers Campus.
“This one is special. My King Chad tribute is now on a wall on display at Downtown Disney,” Smith wrote Thursday on Instagram along with a video of the unveiling. “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.”
