What the actual hell? 2020 you suck. Really.
This both shocking and devastating news. Chadwick Boseman, the King of Wakanda and the Black Panther has passed away after a 4 year battle with cancer. What is truly shocking is that his cancer was kept quiet. Fans and co-stars were unaware of the battle he was fighting.
Chadwick Boseman made his MCU debut in Captain America: Civil War as Black Panther in 2016 which leaded into his own solo film in 2018. Black Panther achieved critical acclaim and scored a Best Picture nomination at the Academy Awards. The first superhero movie to achieve that honor. Chadwick then went on to star in both Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, respectively.
Black Panther 2 is slated to arrive in theaters May 6, 2022.
May he rest in peace. Wakanda Forever!
