The 43 year-old died after battling colon cancer for four years. His rep confirmed that he died in his home in Los Angeles, accompanied by his wife and loving family. Chadwick did not publicly speak of his diagnosis, however, he was working through his treatment for much of his career.
We can tell a lot about a person from what they leave behind and we’re very sure Chadwick Boseman left behind remarkable impressions through his Marvel Cinematic Universe movies and his powerful characters. The actor’s career first rocketed with his portrayal of Black American icons Jackie Robinson and James Brown.
Friends and fans are tweeting their condolences and memories they shared with Chadwick.
It was the highest honor getting to work with you and getting to know you. What a generous and sincere human being. You believed in the sacred nature of the work and gave your all. Much love to your family. And much love from all of us left here.

What a talent. RIP
I just realized this. Wasn’t there a picture that surfaced months ago with him looking skinnier. People were saying it was him getting into shape for a character he was playing😥 this is so heartbreaking. Thoughts go out to his family

We honor Chadwick Boseman. Known for his pioneering roles as Jackie Robinson, James Brown and Thurgood Marshall, Boseman stars as the first black Marvel superhero T’Challa also known as Black Panther.
