In an interview with People, Nate described how he and the 42 actor 'worked together to get a young boy a voice note from T’Challa, as well as a package of toys.'

The filmmaker said Boseman cared 'so intently, and in hindsight, so personally' about the terminally ill children with whom they worked.

And despite how seeing the ill children 'broke' the A-lister, he texted Moore that 'we need to do that for them.'

'People deserve abundant life, special moments,' Chadwick's text continued. 'They’ve been through hell battling disease.'

'If we were able to ease their suffering and bring joy for a moment, and hopefully moments he goes through the bags, then we made a difference in his life,' concluded the 21 Bridges star.
