Chadwick Aaron Boseman has shockingly passed away at age 43. He died at his home with his wife and family by his side. 

Boseman was battling colon cancer since 2016 but still fought to deliver signature performances on screen which included the 2018 era-defining film 'The Black Panther' that became a global phenomenon and embodied Black excellence as the movie broke Box Office records.

"A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it and brought you so 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.", the statement on his Twitter account said.
After living in Brooklyn post college graduation, the Howard alum moved to Los Angeles in 2008 to pursue a Hollywood acting career after wanting to be a director. During his days at Howard, Phylicia Rashad was his mentor and Denzel Washington helped him and other classmates attend the Oxford Mid-Summer Program at the British American Drama Academy in London, England.
In 2013, he broke through with his first major role as Jackie Robinson in '42' and continued to climb at an extraordinary rate. After playing James Brown in 'Get On Up', Boseman made his debut as the Black Panther/T-Challa in Marvel's Cinematic Universe in the 2016 movie 'Captain America: Civil War'. Two years later, he would get his own standalone project and influence comic book movies and representation in film greatly.
Tributes have poured in since the devastating news broke.
