Hit the jump to revisit all the times Chadwick clearly would have rather been doing anything than throwing up another X.

Chadwick Boseman hasn’t even had a break from the Black Panther press tour and he’s already doing a promo run for Infinity War. Needless to say, the brother is probably exhausted.

Look at the smile on his face at Comic Con in 2016:
