It is with tremendous sadness we must report that Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman has died tragically at the age of 43. According to his family, the actor was diagnosed with colon cancer four years ago, though never spoke about his fight publicly.
Boseman launched to superstardom in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as T’Challa/Black Panther, first in a supporting role in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War, and then as the lead in 2018’s Black Panther.
It would also become the first Marvel film nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards. Boseman reprised the role of King T’Challa that same year in Avengers: Infinity War and then in 2019’s Avengers: Endgame, the latter becoming the highest-grossing movie of all-time. A Black Panther 2 with Coogler returning to helm is currently in development at Marvel Studios, although the death of Boseman throws its status into uncertainty.
Other film roles for Boseman included the Kevin Costner vehicle Draft Day, Alex Proyas’ fantasy Gods of Egypt, the cop drama 21 Bridges, and Spike Lee’s Da 5 Bloods. His final performance opposite Viola Davis in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom is currently in post-production for Netflix.
