Actor Jeffery Wright, known as the cosmic entity named The Watcher in the Disney+ series, recently spoke toEWand spoke about what it is was like getting to work with Chadwick Boseman before his unfortunate passing.
“I was really moved to hear Chadwick Boseman voiceT’Challaagain as he does in the show. I actually first met him when Black Panther was being introduced at Comic-Con. We saw each other from time to time after that and just to watch him grow as an actor and watch him take on this character, to see what that character meant, and to understand that he was doing that while facing serious challenges, I just find to be on the level of heroism that Black Panther himself is on. So to be a part of just a little bit of what some of his last work is is really special,” Wright added. “And I can’t wait for folks to just hear him.”
With much anticipation of Boseman’s final appearance as T’Challa, Marvel has updated the Guardians Twitter account with a name change, and a brand new profile picture. The official name for the Twitter account now reads as “T’Challa Star-Lord”, and the new profile picture features the animated version of Boseman’s character.
