"It is with immeasurable grief that we confirm the passing of Chadwick Boseman," a statement said on the actor's official Twitter account. "Chadwick was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in 2016 and battled with it these last four years as it progressed to stage IV."

"A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you many of the films you have come to love so much," the statement continued. "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."

R.I.P. Chadwick.

I know a lot of members poured scorn on the movie "Black Panther" when it was announced/released....but I am sure people respect this guy as a talented actor who worked through his enormous pain.

To be fair, I watched the movie some time after my kids had seen it at the movies, and I really enjoyed it.

I didn't like the 'Black Panther' flick at all
not really his fault, I assume

he did a good job in the Jackie Robinson story

Very sad news indeed. I had read that he was going to be working on a sequel of Black Panther to be released in 2022.

Rest in Wakanda.
