Actor Chadwick Boseman has past away from cancer at age 43. I am heartbroken and stunned! Prayers and thoughts to all his loved ones! May he Rest in Peace
There were some photos of him that came out several months ago where he was looking alarmingly skinny. I suppose this is why. He was very talented, what a loss to the world.
RIP Chadwick and condolences to his family.
I haven't seen Black Panther,
I thought the same thing - he completed 3 highly physical Marvel movies in that time. It completely blows my mind that he was able to do so while knowingly battling cancer.That's so crazy that Black Panther only came out in 2018, and he looked like the epitome of fitness then - I would have never guessed that cancer was lurking in that ripped physique, and it's even more astounding that he probably trained for and filmed Black Panther/Infinity War/Endgame knowing he had stage III/IV cancer the whole time.
Yeah, Black Panther is the rare MCU movie where you could completely strip away the fact that it's a Marvel movie and it would still genuinely just be a great science fiction movie. The detail and the elements of Afro-Futurism (a genre of fiction I really need to devote more time too) really help Black Panther stand out in a field of superhero movies that all start to look the same after a while.It’s worth watching as it actually is interesting in its own right unlike most Marvel films.
