Black Panther, I think, is the movie I've watched the most in the past year. Sad.
Chadwick Boseman, the man who brought "Black Panther" to life, has died.
The actor has been battling 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, his publicist Nicki Fioravante said in a statement.
"A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you so many of the films you have come to love so much," the statement said.
"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."
The statement said the role of King T'Challa was the "honor of (Boseman's) career."
I love Denzel Washington even more after reading this tweet.
Chadwick Boseman had a mystery benefactor who helped send him to Oxford to study the theater. Years later, he discovered it was Denzel Washington. Washington produced Boseman’s final film, which will air on Netflix later this year https://t.co/LjOECkbpD3
"He was a gentle soul and a brilliant artist, who will stay with us for eternity through his iconic performances over his short yet illustrious career. God bless Chadwick Boseman
