Rip good sir. You will be missed.
And as above. Colon cancer screenings don't start till age 50, but if your family has a history of cancer or any problems do get checked. Just have to ask.
Catch it early and you'll more likely to survive.

I agree, because of covid19 my uncle is probably too late to be helped, he had cancer in his lungs and liver
Good advice. My mom had colon cancer young, and as a result, I started getting colonoscopies every five years when I was like 40. They've removed several benign polyps, which might or might not have become cancerous over time ... but now they'll never get the chance.
Much as you won't like that, because of the success of Black Panther, the role might be recast with a new actor, because people (black people in particular) want to see more movies with his character, just like how it is with James Bond.
My tribute to him is this:
RIP, brotherman.
RIP Mr. Boseman

I was shocked when my mom told me about this while she was on Facebook. I'm kind of impressed he actually managed to keep it quit.
I can't help but wonder if he was sick while he was filming any of the Marvel movies.
His performances as Black Panther were great, and he will be missed. RIP.

I agree, given that at least two people (Shuri and Caspar Cole) have been Black Panther in the main comic 'verse who are consistent with the general character as depicted up until now, I don't see any real downside to recasting Black Panther while respecting Boseman's history as King T'Challa.
Truly shocking. I had no idea he even had cancer, and to see that he was diagnosed in 2016, damn. That means he was battling cancer while filming Black Panther as well as Avengers Infinity War and Endgame. Black Panther in particular though, an action movie where he was the lead character. To do that while dealing with cancer is nothing less than absolutely extraordinary. A true hero both on and off the screen.
A fun memory I've had of Chadwick Boseman comes from when Jimmy Kimmel had him on Mean Tweets. The Mean Tweet Chadwick Boseman read about himself was something along the lines of "Can someone explain to me how one of the coolest black guys on the planet has a horribly white-bread name like Chadwick?" After reading the tweet, Boseman responded by laughing a good hearty laugh.
RIP

I just learned about this from a random twitter post. Someone had put his picture up with a quote and a "Rest in Peace" and I couldn't quite understand (maybe I subconsciously didn't really want to understand), then it the reality struck me and all I could think was "Oh no...". That being said, I will always remember Boseman not just as a talented actor, but as a historical figure in the world of cinema who shattered the notion that a Big Budget Superhero couldn't be successful if the lead was anything but a what male.
Matt Jacobs from The Huffington Post shared part of an interview he did with Chadwick Boseman that kind of takes on a new light now that we know he was sick.
I couldn't imagine what it must have been like for him working on these movies while dealing with cancer.
