Associated Press has just revealed actor Chadwick Boseman has passed away from cancer at just 43 years old.
We’ve very sad to be sharing this news with you tonight. The AP says Boseman has died “after 4-year fight with colon cancer.” He had not spoken publicly about this diagnosis.
Boseman is well known in our realm for playing T’Challa the Black Panther in the Marvel Cinematic Universe but famously also played Jackie Robinson in 42, along with roles in Draft Day, Gods of Egypt, Marshall, and more. This statement was just posted to his official Twitter:
“It is with immeasurable grief that we confirm the passing of Chadwick Boseman. Chadwick was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in 2016, and battled it with 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. 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.”
It continues, “He died in his home, with his wife and family by his side. The family thanks you for your love and prayers, and asks that you continue to respect their privacy during this difficult time.”
Our deepest condolences go out to Boseman’s loved ones during this time. His loss will be felt deeply by many.
Agreed. I liked his work. RIP.
I hear he was a nice guy. Always happy, had good things to say.
But this a political site and it will come to that. He was a Democrat, but I don’t recall him suffering from tds.
Proof that it’s possible to be civil and disagree with folks.
RIP
"...Proof that it is possible to be civil and disagree with folks..."
Well it's definitely believeable they would because they have, many times. Russia, Russia, Russia comes to mind.
But this one time I think they're not.
RIP. He will always be the original Black Panther.
Just rolled up on Tommy Sotomayer and saw the announcement
Prayers for his Mom
Cool. Honestly I wish it were.
Never heard of him or the movies.
Was this a millennial thing?
Might want to check post 8 on this thread.
Well, isn’t that pretty much all they do 24/7? However, in this case the story, surprisingly, is true.
He really was a good actor. He “made” the movies I’ve seen him in.
“Might want to check post 8 on this thread.“
I really try to separate rhe artist and the art.
Can’t blame him for being blind. Blame those who can see and ignore.
Boseman was a leftist actor. But nobody deserves death like this.
Black Panther movie was a great illustration about rejecting the pent-up hate inside black people.
This was virtually the only story on WINS 1010 Newsradio in NYC this morning.
I never even heard of the guy.

He was a very good actor. Sad to hear that he passed.
Here’s a great video of him talking about kids with cancer wanting to hang on to see the Black Panther movie
