Celebrating the achievement, Jordan wrote on Instagram: “4. Still setting the bar higher. Miss you big homie.”

Marvel boss Kevin Feige reflected on Boseman’s passing last year and explained why he will not be replaced with another actor in Black Panther 2.

“I wanted to acknowledge the devastating loss of a dear friend and member of the Marvel Studios family,” he said.

“Chadwick Boseman was an immensely talented actor and an inspirational individual who affected all of our lives professionally and personally. His portrayal of T’Challa the Black Panther is iconic and transcends iteration of the character in any other medium from Marvel’s past. And it’s for that reason that we will not recast the character.”
