The late Chadwick Boseman will be honored as Hero for the Ages at the MTV Movie & TV Awards: Greatest of All Time retrospective special.
The honor goes to actors “whose heroism on-screen was only surpassed by the true hero they were off-screen.”
Boseman’s Avengers co-stars Don Cheadle and Robert Downey Jr. will present the award during the MTV Movie & TV Awards: Greatest of All Time special.
The one-night televised event will take place this Sunday and will be hosted by Vanessa Hudgens, more than three months after Chadwick Boseman died after battling with colon cancer.
The late actor is expected to receive a tribute award at the 30th annual Gotham Independent Film Awards in January.
He’s also nominated for Best Actor for his role in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, which will be released on Netflix later this month.
