The late Chadwick Boseman was honored at Sunday’s MTV Movie & TV Awards: Greatest of All Time. The “Black Panther” actor, who died in August, posthumously received the Hero for the Ages award, presented by fellow Marvel stars Don Cheadle and Robert Downey Jr. “The second you first saw him on screen or had the opportunity to meet him in person, his energy and intensity was undeniable,” Downey Jr. said in their speech. “There was something different and special about Chadwick Boseman.” “Each time he stepped on the set, he inspired and influenced everyone there,” Cheadle said. The way he lived his life united people behind a higher purpose, and that will be his legacy.” The MTV special, hosted by Vanessa Hudgens, highlighted the most memorable television and film moments from the ’80s to present day.
