Boseman’s family confirmed his death from colon cancer in an Instagram post in August 2020. The Marvel star’s family explained in an Instagram post that he was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in 2016, which later progressed to stage IV.

“It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Chadwick Boseman. Chadwick was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in 2016, and fought it for the last four years as it progressed to stage IV,” the statement said. “A true fighter, Chadwick persevered and brought you many of the films you have come to love.” From Marshall to Da 5 Bloods, August Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, and several others, all were filmed during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy. Bringing King T’Challa to life in Black Panther was the honor of his career, and he died in his home, with his wife and family by his side. The family appreciates your love and prayers.
