Serkis said that Boseman was a "true leader" who inspired everyone around him to be their best. He also said that Boseman's death has left a "huge void" in the film industry.
"Chadwick was a truly special person," said Serkis. "He was kind, compassionate, and always had a smile on his face. He was also an incredibly talented actor, and he brought a depth and nuance to the role of T'Challa that was simply breathtaking. He will be deeply missed."
