Boseman’s death in August 2020 came as a shock to fans, as he and his family had decided to keep his battle with colon cancer out of the public eye. When the news broke, it was revealed that he had filmed several projects while battling the disease, including “Black Panther,” “Avengers: Infinity War,” and “Avengers: Endgame.” He also worked on “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” for which his performance garnered critical acclaim, as well as several awards and nominations.
“What If…?” marks Boseman’s final credited project. He voiced the Black Panther iteration of T’Challa for two episodes, “What If… Zombies?!” and “What If… Killmonger Rescued Tony Stark?” and also reprised his role as Star-Lord T’Challa for the season’s final episode, “What If… The Watcher Broke His Oath?”
