Chadwick Boseman, the multi-award-winning actor best known for portraying T'Challa in the MCU, will receive a posthumous star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on November 20, according to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce.
This news comes via Variety, which reports that the unveiling will take place at 11:30am PT that day. Previously, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce had announced that Boseman would receive a star as part of 2024's class of honorees.
Boseman tragically passed away in 2020 at the age of 43 from colon cancer, which he battled privately while continuing to perform. He is best known as T'Challa in Black Panther and several other MCU films, a portrayal he continued before his death in the MCU series What If...?, earning a posthumous Primetime Emmy Award for his performance.
He also starred in numerous other productions over his 27-year career, including playing Jackie Robinson in 42 and Thurgood Marshall in Marshall. His final film role was as Levee Green in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, for which he received a Golden Globe and a SAG Award for best actor, as well as an Oscar nomination.
