The news of Chadwick Boseman’s passing has devastated the entire film community, the African American community, as well as movie fans in general.
A class act through and through, there’s no doubt about it, his legacy will continue to live on through the films he has made, the co-stars he’s influenced, and the fans he’s inspired.
The star of Black Panther, 42, Marshall, multiple Avengers films and Captain America: Civil War, among many others, lost a largely private 4-year battle with colon cancer this past Friday. He was just 43 years old.
