Today would have been Chadwick Boseman‘s 44th birthday, but the Black Panther actor unfortunately passed away earlier this year after a four-year battle with colon cancer. But Marvel Studios went out of their way to celebrate the late actor by giving a little update to Black Panther on Disney+. Fans watching the movie on the streaming service today will notice that the Marvel Studios production logo that accompanies all of their movies has been updated with a custom version that is a tribute to Chadwick Boseman’s role as the African superhero.

The digital version of the movie has not been updated anywhere else to include this tribute, so maybe it will just be exclusive to Disney+ in perpetuity.
This isn’t the first time the Marvel Studios logo has been modified in the wake of a death in the Marvel family. After Stan Lee passed away in the fall of 2018, the Marvel Studios logo that accompanied Captain Marvel when it was released in theaters in March of 2019 featured images of Stan Lee and all the cameos he’s made over the years.
