Back in 2014, Chadwick was formally introduced as the King of Wakanda in a special event that had Evans along with Robert Downey Jr in attendance. When Boseman passed away, Evans honoured his memory by remembering that very day.

Weeks after Boseman’s passing, in an interview with Tamron Hall, Evans was asked how he processed the news.

To which he responded, “It's been tough for everybody. And that's why, that kinda highlights the power that he had. His cultural impact is just immeasurable. Not just as an artist, but as a man. The way he spoke. The way he carried himself. He bred an allegiance, he galvanised, he inspired... It’s heartbreaking. It’s tough to process. But his impact, his legacy is solidified forever.”
