Chadwick Boseman Has Died at 43

Actor Chadwick Boseman has died at age of 43. Boseman died of colon cancer after a clandestine four-year battle with the disease. The news comes as a shock since many, if-not-all of his pedestrian fans, had no idea that Boseman was sick, let-alone battling cancer.

News of his passing was released on his official Twitter account and confirmed by The Associated Press:

During the actor’s forty-three year career, Boseman has appeared in fifteen movies and sixteen TV shows, including: 42, Captain America: Civil War, Marshall, Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, Da 5 Bloods, Fringe, Justified, and many other films and TV series.

Boseman’s most-notable role was King T’Challa in Marvel’s Black Panther, part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I think everyone was happy when Marvel hired Boseman to bring T’Challa to life and more than happy to see his performance in the role.

I will miss Boseman and all the performances that he would have brought to the big (or small screen) and into our lives.
