It can be found under the "extras" section when you select Black Panther. The 40-minute special, hosted by Robin Roberts, celebrates Chadwick Boseman's life, career, and legacy as well as the massive cultural imprint he made in and out of the role of T'Challa.
The special also features tributes from celebrities, political figures, and some fans from around the world. His Avengers and Black Panther co-stars share some special words about his courage and commitment to the craft, and the kindness he showed in the world. His death shocked the world last week as it came to light that the 43-year-old actor had been battling colon cancer for more than four years.
Along with his now iconic role as King T'Challa, Boseman starred as legendary historical figures Jackie Robinson in 43, Thurgood Marshall in Marshall, and James Brown in Get On Up. Black Panther director Ryan Coogler eulogized his star and friend, saying he wasn't privy to his illness and will see him again in the next life.
"But it is with a heavy heart and a sense of deep gratitude to have ever been in his presence, that I have to reckon with the fact that Chad is an ancestor now," Coogler said. "And I know that he will watch over us, until we meet again."
