Chadwick Boseman, star of Black Panther loses cancer battle
Chadwick Boseman, an actor who embodied the legendary Black icons Jackie Robinson and James Brown on his way to becoming the face of the venerable Black Panther in the Marvel cinematic universe has died. He was 43.
The actor's death was confirmed Friday by his representative who said the wide-ranging performer died after a bout with colon cancer.
Boseman died at his home in the Los Angeles area with his wife and family by his side, his publicist Nicki Fioravante told The Associated Press.
The native of Anderson, S.C., played the Brooklyn Dodgers' barrier-breaking star Jackie Robinson in the 2013 film "42," and played James Brown a year later in "Get On Up." His blockbuster role in "Black Panther" came in 2018.
"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 in the statement. "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.
Boseman's Hollywood peers came out in droves to share their condolences and issued their support for his family...

I had noticed him losing weight when I saw him on a sports show a few months ago. I Googled and others were posting about it too.
I've read he was a believer.

Ahhh, so that explains all of the beautiful, sincere accolades everyone has heaped on him - I was gonna post my usual response: Hope He Knew Jesus - But you just answered it for me, Fuego.
I only saw him in his portrayal of James Brown, and it was AMAZING!!!

Hopefully he made his peace with God before he died....from what is written below he was living in immorality with his girlfriend and they married before he passed away
This has become the sad state of many who say they believe in God - you can live how you like as long as you 'believe'
He may have been a nice decent person but easy believing is a cancer in the church....most celebrities are in this category who 'believe' in God
Thank God for mercy and if he called on the Lord he is in heaven
