Actors Don Cheadle and Robert Downey Jr on Sunday paid tributes to their late fellow Marvel star Chadwick Boseman at the MTV Movie and TV Awards. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Boseman was posthumously named as the "Hero for the Ages," during the special event.

"The award honours a star whose heroism onscreen was only surpassed by the true hero they were offscreen," MTV said. Downey also lauded the late superstar and said that Boseman's "energy and intensity was undeniable," and added that he, "truly embodied what it meant to be a superhero."
