Actor Chadwick Boseman, the Black Panther Marvel film star, breathed his last at the age of 43 in his house located in the Los Angeles area with his wife and family by his side. A true combatant, Chadwick persevered it very nicely through the way and brought many of the films which were loved not just by his admirers but by the masses across the world.
Boseman was reportedly diagnosed with colon cancer four years ago, Boseman, however, did not disclose anything about his diagnosis in public.
He was popular globally, owing to his starring role as Black Panther in Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movies such as Captain America: Civil War, Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame.
A run-through of Boseman’s journey
Boseman played the first-ever black superhero to get his own standalone film in the record-breaking Marvel franchise with 2018’s “Black Panther.” But It took some time for Boseman’s moment to come. He first got into theater, acting, and writing a play as an undergraduate at Howard. Later visited Africa for the first time during college with director and theater professor Mike Malone. He got his first television role in 2003, in an episode of Third Watch.
Born in South Carolina, Boseman graduated from Howard University and had small roles in television before his first-star turn in 2013. His striking portrayal of the stoic baseball star Robinson opposite Harrison Ford in 2013’s ’42’ drew attention in Hollywood and made him a star.
A year later, he wowed audiences as Brown in the biopic ‘Get On Up.’
Bozeman kept working in TV shows like ABC Family’s ‘Lincoln Heights’ and NBC’s ‘Person until signing the iconic black panther in 2016.
Boseman’s struggles paid off in 2018 when the marvel franchise black panther was released. The film opened to great anticipation, becoming one of the highest-grossing films in the United States for the year 2018.
He reprised the role of a black panther in both marvel avengers; infinity war and avengers end game which was released in 2018 and 2019, respectively. Both films were the highest-grossing of the year they were released, with Endgame going on to become the highest-grossing film of all time.
And before Marvel, Chadwick was known for his eccentric portrayal of the legendary Robinson in Brian Helgeland’s “42” (2013), which is the highest-grossing debut for a baseball movie in Hollywood industry’s history.
