Actor Chadwick Boseman who played the iconic role of “Black Panther” in Marvel cinematic universe, passed away on Friday of cancer at the age of 43. He was diagnosed with colon cancer four years ago, his family said in a statement.
Boseman’s sad dismissal happened at his home in the Los Angeles area with his wife and family by his side, his publicist Nicki Fioravante told The Associated Press.
“A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you many of the films you have come to love so much,” his family 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. It was the honor of his career to bring King T’Challa to life in Black Panther.”
Boseman had not spoken publicly about his diagnosis. He is survived by his wife and a parent and had no children, Fioravante said.
REST IN POWER, MY KING!
