Disney Celebrated Chadwick Boseman With New Mural
Very Fitting
Chadwick Boseman has been defined as a king even he was not T’Challa / Black Panther, whom he had first portrayed in Captain America Civil War and went on to play again in Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame. Children all around the world look up and see Chadwick Boseman as the wise king. Even just as a person, his kindness made a huge impact on others, especially to the people that were closed to him.
A month later, many people around the world are still shocked by the sudden death of Boseman, who died of a private battle with colon cancer. Chadwick Boseman was showered with love and remembrance from fans from all around the world and people that were closed to him. We see many children from all around the world actually cried and felt the loss of the one good king to whom they were attached.
Chadwick Boseman’s final role as Black Panther / T’Challa can be seen in Marvel’s What If...? animated series that will be on Disney+. He had finished his voice over work before his death. For the time being, Marvel is looking for an opportunity to pay attribute and respect to the king/. One of these was tribute artwork of Chadwick Boseman created by Head of Visual Development at Marvel Studios Ryan Meinderding. To celebrate Boseman’s life and career, ABC News Special released this news with a piece of artwork for Boseman’s legacy and titled the tribute Chadwick Boseman – A Tribute for a King.
Furthermore, Disney revealed the artwork of Chadwick Boseman at Downtown Disney from Nikkolas Smith, concept artist and former Disney Imagineer, to pay tribute to his legacy as Black Panther and the impact that had on all of us. This image has the following caption from Nikkolas Smith:
"This one is special. My King Chad tribute is now on a wall on display at Downtown Disney. 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."

Hopefully, Marvel and Disney are able to continue honoring Chadwick Boseman’s life with their influence. Boseman had a huge impact on people around him. His undeniable selflessness and dedication to do good things. He was not just a superhero onscreen, but also a hero in real life. Here is to the king, for Chadwick Boseman, Wakanda Forever.

Samuel L. Jackson Returns As Nick Fury On Disney+
Nick Fury has become one of Marvel’s best known characters over the years. The version of the character who appeared in the Ultimate Marvel universe was based on the appearance of Samuel L. Jackson, and it was very satisfying to see Jackson portray the character on the big screen. Fury has been a staple of the Marvel Cinematic Universe ever since he appeared in the post-credit scene for Iron Man back in 2008. The inclusion of the character was effective in hinting at a larger world, which few people could have imagined becoming as big as it is on the screen in live-action form. He was instrumental in bringing the Avengers together, fighting for SHIELD when HYDRA revealed itself to be active in 2014’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and helping Captain Marvel in 1995, where we got to see a younger and more lighthearted Fury (as well as an underwhelming reason for his eye-patch).

Book Review: "The Painter's Daughters" by Emily Howes
Now, I had heard a little bit about Thomas Gainsborough's daughters and the fact that one of them was less in health than the other but I did not know much of the small details of the story such as the strictness of the mother or the way in which the father wanted them to live outside the city. This may be written like a fiction novel but it is based within the facts of some very real lives. Thomas Gainsborough was a famed English painter and yet, his daughters were central to his world. Producing many paintings of them, he seems to have spent a lot of time with the girls as they were growing up, possibly fuelling these wild imaginations that they had.

I AM
This is not who I thought I would be. Before my family was captured and forced into slavery, I had aspirations of becoming a wealthy business owner or possibly a scholar and philosopher. Becoming a warrior was the furthest thing from my mind. Unfortunately, our Roman conquerors had other plans.
