Marvel Comics did something similar for Chadwick Boseman, the MCU’s Black Panther in four movies, earlier this fall, and now Marvel Studios has followed suit with a special version of the company’s animated logo.
It’s still not clear whether Marvel will recast Boseman or replace him with another character as Black Panther in the upcoming Black Panther II.
There is a tradition at both Marvel Comics and Marvel Studios of honoring late members of the company’s creative team with elaborate tributes.
The first part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase Four, the limited series WandaVision, premieres on Disney+ on January 15, 2021.
