"Rest in Power, King" - The world honors Chadwick Boseman a year since his passing

 

It's hard to believe that it's been one year to the day since Chadwick Boseman passed away after battling colon cancer. The Howard University graduate continued to act despite his illness - and he contributed so many stellar performances throughout his career... With his most well-known role being of course the King of Wakanda and Black Panther of the Marvel Cinematic Universe himself, T'Challa.

Now that Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is currently shooting, the role of T'Challa will NOT be recast as revealed by Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios. Instead, we will eventually find out what has become of the character story wise - and what will become of the Black Panther mantle whether it goes to his sister Shuri or someone else. Time will tell, and one of the last parts Chadwick Boseman portrayed was lending his voice for What If? where T'Challa became Star-Lord instead of Peter Quill.

Rest in Power, King. We miss you.

Marvel and ABC to celebrate the legacy of Chadwick Boseman with "Black Panther" airing and ABC News Special

This is all to honor the sudden passing of the Hollywood star and Marvel Cinematic Universe actor - who lost his battle with colon cancer and died at the age of 43.

Rest In Power, My King. Wakanda Forever.

R.I.P Chadwick Boseman, aka The Black Panther

In what is certainly become a very very sad way to end the last weekend of August 2020, the world got the devastating news that actor Chadwick Boseman - best known for portraying King T'Challa/ Black Panther in the Marvel Cinematic Universe - succumbed to his battle against colon cancer at the age of 43. It was sudden as it was depressing - Boseman battled the disease privately and no one knew he was suffering from it until the very end. :(

Here is the official statement from Chadwick Boseman's Facebook page:

It's definitely a sad time and a terrible year for all, and I even had to pay tribute in a video and post dedicated to this talented actor gone too soon. What the future of Black Panther be in the MCU remains to be seen... But now we mourn the loss of a king.

Rest well Chadwick. Thank you and "Wakanda Forever". :(

Big congratulations are in order to director Ryan Coogler, star Chadwick Boseman and the rest of the cast, and Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and the rest of the team that brought the Marvel Cinematic Universe to life for this!
