Chadwick Boseman’s Widow Reacts To Posthumous Emmy Win
Chadwick Boseman’s wife, Taylor Simone Leward, reflected on Boseman winning a posthumous Emmy for his role in Marvel’s animated series “What If…?”
The first animated series in the MCU, What If…? debuted on Disney+ on August 11, 2021. The series explores alternative timelines in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, considering different outcomes of major moments from MCU films.
With favorable reviews from both fans and critics, the series was renewed for further seasons. What If…? season 2 is expected to premiere in 2023, and season 3 currently in development.
In episode 2 of season 1, entitled What If… T’Challa Became a Star-Lord?, Boseman reprised his Black Panther role as T’Challa, though only lending his voice to the animated series.
The episode considers what would happen if a young T’Challa had been abducted by Guardians of the Galaxy’s Yondu and the Ravagers rather than a young Peter Quill. Boseman’s appearance in What If…? would be his final performance before the beloved actor tragically passed away in August 2020 due to colon cancer.
His performance in What If…? would go on to be nominated for Outstanding Character Voice-Over at this year’s Emmys.
