Chadwick Boseman has battled colon cancer since 2016 and died at home with his family and wife by his side, according to a statement posted on his Twitter account. He was 43. Boseman's breakout performance came in 2013 when he played Jackie Robinson in the film ‘42.’
Born in South Carolina, he always had an affinity for theater, and wrote his first play in high school. He attended the famous HBCU, Howard University, and graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Fine arts. He started his career in writing and directing, but clearly, he was meant to be on the other side of the camera. Boseman made his Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) debut in 2016 as T'Challa/Black Panther in ‘Captain America: Civil War.’ ‘Black Panther’ then got his own stand-alone movie that released in 2018, which broke box office records. — Chadwick Boseman (@chadwickboseman) August 29, 2020
