“In my culture, death is not the end.” – Black Panther actor Chadwick Boseman

Can 2020 be any more terrible… One of the versatile actors in the Hollywood industry Chadwick Boseman who played the iconic role of Black Panther is no more with us. It came as a shock to all of us that on 28 August 2020, former Black Panther fame actor Chadwick Boseman died at the age of 43 due to the colon cancer.  Chadwick was diagnosed with cancer for a very long time, i.e., for almost four years starting from 2016. He was an American actor and producer who played several roles but eventually got more famous among people when he took up the mantle of Black Panther. This energized young actor had projected so much life as a star and has given some of the best performances that one can expect only from him. Chadwick died at his home in Los Angeles, beside his wife Taylor Simone Ledward and family. Boseman was a real fighter as he bravely fought cancer for four consecutive years. Despite that, Chadwick gave us some fantastic and thrilling movies of his time while fighting cancer. Starting from Marshall to Da 5 Bloods, August Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, and several others, he filmed them all during and between his chemotherapy and countless surgeries. He was Honored when the Russo Brothers allowed him to bring King T’Challa to life in the Black Panther movie.  Chadwick proved ominously in capturing all his roles in such a short period of time, whether it was Robinson; soul icon James Brown in 2014’s Get On Up or playing King T’Challa aka Black Panther in the Marvel Movies.  Despite that, Chadwick Boseman was an incredibly versatile actor. Black Panther wasn’t just his first flick, as he certainly has been in other popular franchises. In case you are missing your king and want to binge all his movies, we at Animated Times have made a list of his top 10 movies that you must watch.
