He later reprised the role in the solo movie "Black Panther" in 2018, then in "Avengers: Infinity War" (2018), and finally, in "Avengers: Endgame". A sequel to Black Panther (2018), Boseman was announced to reprise his role. The movie was planned to be released in May 2022.
In a statement on Chadwick Boseman's official social media accounts, his family shares:
"It is with immeasurable grief that we confirm the passing of Chadwick Boseman. Chadwick was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in 2016, and battled with it these last 4 years as it progressed to stage IV. A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you 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. It was the honor of his career to bring King T'Challa to life in Black Panther. He died in his home, with his wife and family by his side. The family thanks you for your love and prayers, and asks that you continue to respect their privacy during this difficult time."
Some of Boseman's MCU co-stars have shared their sadness on their social media. Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios, has changed the logo of his Twitter account in tribute to the actor.
We will be missing you. You will always be in our hearts.
