The late superstar Chadwick Boseman is celebrated for his incredible performances on the screen, one of which also includes the role of the Marvel superhero Black Panther. The actor made his MCU debut with the 2016 film Captain America: Civil War, starring alongside the Marvel stars Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. He went on to reprise his Marvel role in several movies under the franchise following his debut.
During the promotion of one of his Marvel movies, the actor was asked if he took anything from the sets as a remembrance of his movie and role. And like his co-stars, Boseman also shared the one item from his Marvel character that he decided to keep with him.
Chadwick Boseman Kept Black Panther’s Kimoyo Beads
After making his debut with Captain America: Civil War and starring in a blockbuster Oscar-winning solo movie, Chadwick Boseman joined the ensemble cast of Avengers: Infinity War. While promoting the movie alongside his co-stars, including Chris Hemsworth, Karen Gillan, Josh Brolin, and Sebastian Stan, the actor was asked if he had any remembrances from the movie set.
He shared that he took the Kimoyo beads from Marvel sets. “I kept the beads, the Kimoyo beads. I have them on right now,” he said during a conversation with Jimmy Kimmel on his talk show. Kimoyo beads are one of the most impressive Wakandan technologies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that appear to have unlimited uses.
The beads are used to project a holographic image, and Shuri’s constant updates make it even more advanced as she uses it to remote pilot a random car in Busan from her lab and is also used by T’Challa in a later scene to stabilize the Everett Ross’ wound. The beads are also extremely attractive, and it doesn’t come as a surprise that the Black Panther star decided to keep it with him as a memento of his time as the Marvel superhero.
Black Panther Star Honors Chadwick Boseman
Chadwick Boseman passed away on August 28, 2020, from colon cancer. The actor was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2016 and never discussed the diagnosis publicly. On the three-year anniversary of his passing, his Black Panther co-star, Lupita Nyong’o, honored the actor as she shared a tribute to her late co-star.
“Three years ago today, I experienced a singular pain at the news of Chadwick Boseman’s death,” she shared. Nyong’o also shared Boseman’s snap she took at the airport when they visited South Korea in 2018. “We had just learned to do the baby heart with our fingers. Here Chadwick was adding his suave flare,” she further mentioned in her Instagram post.
Black Panther and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever are available on Disney+.
