Between his work on the superhero outings, Boseman continued with dramatic fare such as 2017’s Marshall and last year’s 21 Bridges.
He was last seen in Spike Lee’s Da 5 Bloods. He was diagnosed with Stage III colon cancer in 2016, finding the strength to work on films both big and small while also going through chemotherapy treatments as his illness progressed.
A charismatic, stalwart performer, Boseman brought a quiet sense of authority to every role, using his burgeoning career to help good causes and raise awareness. His legacy will live on with the MCU animated series What If…?, in which he voiced T’Challa, and the film adaption of August wilson’s play Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.
