Chadwick Boseman to be Honored with Hollywood Walk of Fame Star
Later this month, the late Chadwick Boseman, best known as Black Panther, will be honored posthumously with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. This recognition is especially significant because, traditionally, only one posthumous star is awarded in each category annually, following a mandatory waiting period of at least two years after a person’s passing.

The ceremony honoring Chadwick Boseman will take place on November 20th at 11:30 a.m. ET. The star, located in the Motion Pictures category at 6904 Hollywood Blvd., will be accepted by his wife, Simone Ledward-Boseman.
Paying tribute to the late Black Panther star will be two of his esteemed collaborators: Black Panther director Ryan Coogler and his Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom co-star Viola Davis (Boseman’s final film role). The event will be emceed by Steve Nissen of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and livestreamed for fans worldwide on WalkOfFame.com.
“The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is deeply honored to celebrate Chadwick Boseman’s extraordinary legacy with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame,” said Ana Martinez, Hollywood Walk of Fame producer. “His powerful performances and enduring impact both on and off screen continue to inspire generations around the world.”
While Chadwick Boseman was originally slated to receive his star in 2024, the ceremony was unexpectedly delayed, with Juanita Moore receiving the posthumous Motion Pictures award that year instead. The two-per-year limit is strict, though exceptions exist: for instance, Carl Weathers received his posthumous Sports Entertainment star in 2024 because the award was already scheduled before his passing. This follows the 2023 ceremony, when Star Wars actor Carrie Fisher received the Motion Pictures star.
