The late Chadwick Boseman has won a posthumous Emmy Award for his work as Star-Lord T’Challa in Marvel’s What If…? and has added another accolade to his incredible career that ended way too soon.<\/p>\n

Boseman, who passed away in 2020 at the age of 43 after a battle against colon cancer, won the award at Saturday’s Creative Arts Emmys presentation at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. <\/p>\n

Marvel Studios celebrated the moment on Twitter by saying “Thank you to the Television Academy for recognizing the outstanding work of our King, late Chadwick Boseman. #Emmys”<\/p>\n

Boseman won the award in a category of other talented performers, including Moon Knight’s F. Murray Abraham, Bridgerton’s Julie Andrews, Big Mouth’s Maya Rudolph, Central Park’s Stanley Tucci, and What If…?’s Jeffrey Wright. The late actress Jessica Walter was also nominated for her work in Archer. <\/p>\n

As reported by Deadline, Boseman’s wife Taylor Simone Ledward accepted the award for her late husband and shared a few words about the honor at the show.<\/p>\n

“When I learned Chad was nominated, I started thinking of everything that was going on in the world and our world and being so in awe of his commitment and dedication and what a beautiful moment that one of the last things he would work on was something so important to him and to the world but also something new,” Simone Ledward said. “You ca n’t understand your purpose unless you ask what if? What if the universe is conspiring in my favor? What if it’s me? Chad would be so honored and I am honored on his behalf,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Boseman appeared in four episodes of What If..?, including ‘What If… The Watcher Broke His Oath?,’ ‘What If… Killmonger Rescued Tony Stark?,’ What If… Zombies?!,’ and What If… T’Challa Became a Star-Lord?.’<\/p>\n

Boseman won a Golden Globe for Best Actor – Motion Picture Drama for his performance in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. He was nominated for Best Actor at the Academy Awards in 2021 for the same role, but he lost to The Father’s Anthony Hopkins.<\/p>\n

While Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will star someone else as the titular hero, Boseman’s presence will still be felt throughout the movie, as evidenced by the emotional and powerful first trailer.<\/p>\n
