Chadwick Boseman has been honoured at 2020 MTV Movie and TV Awards: Greatest of All Time with the Hero for the Ages Award.
Don Cheadle and Robert Downey Jr, his co-stars in the Marvel Avengers Universe, spoke of his unique talent and ability to connect with people before a highlight reel of Boseman’s achievements was shown.
Downey Jr said the recently departed star of Black Panther “was the most heroic when just being Chad”.
