Chadwick Boseman has been widely praised for breaking down cultural boundaries and inspiring a generation of young black people, following news of his untimely death.
He was best known for his role as the regal T’Challa in the Marvel cinematic universe, the franchise’s first high-profile black superhero.
Black Panther was considered a cultural milestone as the first mega-budget movie to have an African-American director and a predominantly black cast.
The Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton dedicated his pole position at the Belgian Grand Prix to Boseman on Saturday afternoon.
