The shock of Chadwick Boseman’s passing came with layers.
There was the fact that this vibrant, talented, generation-defining artist died at such a young age, just 43, after a four-year battle with colon cancer. Then there’s that last part. This actor filmed his Black Panther role in Marvel films, as well as movies like 21 Bridges, Da 5 Bloods, and the upcoming Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom—a grueling schedule by any account—while quietly receiving cancer treatment.
What phenomenal strength and determination that must have taken.
