#WakandaForever! Celebrities, Fans & Friends Share What They Love About Chadwick Boseman

Posted by   on Pinterest

Chadwick Boseman has sadly lost his 4-year battle with colon cancer.

His charisma and regal performance brought to the movie “Black Panther” can never be forgotten.

“A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you so many of the films you have come to love so much,” the statement posted on his Instagram said. “From Marshall to Da 5 Bloods, August Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and several more, all were filmed during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy.”

With his role as T’Challa in the ground-breaking film “Black Panther,” he became a global icon and an inspiring symbol of Black power. That role was the “honour of his career,” the statement said.

Not only did he portray a remarkable role in “Black Panther”, but he also brought history to life with his roles. From his breakout performance in 2013 when he played Jackie Robinson in the film “42“, to his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in 2016 as T’Challa/Black Panther in “Captain America: Civil War“, then his stand-alone movie that released in 2018, which broke box office records, he was indeed a superhero to many.

He also starred in other films, including playing James Brown in “Get On Up” and Thurgood Marshall in “Marshall.”

Despite his 4 year-long battle with cancer, he kept fighting and he kept inspiring. He will be missed.

Fans also took the opportunity to share how much Chadwick‘s portrayal as T’Challa helped them learn about black power and how to conquer adversity with grace.

Rest in Power King T’Challa. My heart is so heavy right now. Your passing has hit me hard. I will tell my sons about you forever. You were one of the classiest men I have ever met in my life.
