          When Black Panther first burst on the scene, it brought with it a wave of iconic 'Wakanda Forever' celebrations.

          The late Chadwick Boseman's portrayal of Black Panther has been lauded by many and celebrated by more, and seeing fitting tributes and celebrations with a nod to the Marvel films, characters, and actors involved has been one of the broader highlights in sport in recent times.

          Here are some of our favourites leading up to the release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, in cinemas now!

          Cam Newton, at the time Patriots QB and more well-known for his Superman/SuperCam celebrations paid tribute to Boseman after a rushing TD in September 2020. Not only that, but Newton was rocking custom Wakanda Forever cleats.

          Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is one of Black Panther's biggest fans - you only need to look at how many times he's pulled out the Wakanda Forever celebration. Here's just one of them.

          Lewis Hamilton famously paid tribute to Boseman not long after after the actor's passing, at Spa in August 2020, which was made all the more powerful by Hamilton's stunning black Mercedes drivers suit.

          Take a bow Michael Bennett. The Patriots big man took the prime time opportunity to shun his college to yell out "Wakanda Forever". Love it.

          Not long after Boseman's passing, LeBron James paid tribute to the actor.

          Jesse Lingard pulled out this passionate celebration during his time with Manchester United.

          With the FIFA World Cup coming up, could we see another Wakanda Forever celebration from Team USA's Jesus Ferreira?
