A Lasting Tribute to a Beloved Actor and Cultural Icon

Legacy Immortalized in Hollywood

November 16, 2025 — Chadwick Boseman is set to be honored posthumously with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, cementing his place among the most iconic figures in film history. The ceremony is scheduled for November 20, 2025, exactly five years after his untimely passing at the age of 43.

A Ceremony of Love and Remembrance

The star will be placed at 6904 Hollywood Boulevard, a spot dedicated to his cinematic contributions. The event will feature heartfelt speeches by Ryan Coogler, director of Black Panther, and Viola Davis, who starred alongside Boseman in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. His widow, Simone Ledward-Boseman, will accept the honor on his behalf, marking an emotional moment for family, friends, and fans.

Celebrating an Extraordinary Career

Boseman’s screen legacy is defined by powerful, transformative roles — from Thurgood Marshall in Marshall to Jackie Robinson in 42, and of course T’Challa in Marvel’s Black Panther. What made him truly remarkable was his ability to embody real-life heroes and imbue his characters with dignity, strength, and moral courage.

Impact That Resonates Beyond Film

Even after his death, Boseman’s influence has only grown. He continues to be celebrated as a symbol of excellence, perseverance, and representation. The Walk of Fame star is not just a recognition of his acting talent, but a tribute to his enduring cultural impact.

A Ceremony to Remember

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which organizes the Walk of Fame, called Boseman’s legacy “extraordinary,” noting that his work and spirit continue to inspire generations. The ceremony will also be livestreamed, allowing fans around the world to participate in the tribute and celebrate his memory.
