Chadwick Boseman, or the famous Black Panther, he officially left us. His Twitter profile communicated it directly in the past few hours, triggering a chain of condolences that will hardly end soon. To hug the boy, albeit virtually, there are many well-known names. In fact, thanks to the life that Boseman led, he was appreciated by many even outside the film set, also becoming a symbol for the movement. Black Lives Matter. In recent years, the actor had worked hard with charity in favor of hospitals, several times in fact he was shot with photos, while he was intent on visit children with cancer. Also, in his Instagram video released on April 16, the man appeared thinner than usual, and today we understand the dramatic reason.
In 2016, he was diagnosed with colon cancer, practically right after filming ended Civil War and his first appearance as the Black Panther. His strength and determination to carry out all the projects of theMCU who saw his presence, above all without allowing themselves to be influenced by this evil: until today, Chadwick Boseman has left everyone in the dark about his illness. Man has behaved until the end as a real example to follow, demonstrating that even the last years of our life can be used to make the world a better place, albeit to a small extent.
We leave you below with the words not only of colleagues, but also of many other celebrities:
Let's start with Kevin Faige, which although on Twitter he limited himself to a change of profile picture and a not too verbose statement on the official Marvel channel, he vented later with an open letter.

Chadwick's death is absolutely devastating. He was our T'Challa, our Black Panther and our dear friend. Every time he stepped foot on set, he radiated charisma and joy, and every time he appeared on screen he created something truly indelible. He has embodied many amazing people in his work and none have been better at bringing great men to life. He was smart, kind, powerful and strong like every person he played. Now it takes its place next to them as an icon for the ages. The Marvel Studios family is deeply saddened by his loss and we're in mourning with his family tonight.
To follow the well-known manufacturer has thought about it Tom Holland, known to many as Spider-Man, who paid tribute to his friend on his Instagram profile.
Chadwick, you were even more of a hero off screen than on. A role model not only to me on set, but to millions of others around the world. You brought joy and happiness to so many and I'm proud to have been able to call you a friend. RIP Chadwick

Chadwick was someone who radiated power and peace. Who stood for so much more than himself. Who took the time to really see how you were doing and gave words of encouragement when you felt unsure. I'm honored to have the memories I have. The conversations, the laughter. My heart is with you and your family. You will be missed and never forgotten. Rest in power and peace my friend.

The list may never end again, demonstrating how Boseman has become, in just 4 years, a real icon. We leave you with this quote from the Black Panther that happened in Civil War:
In my culture, death is not the end, it is considered a starting point. You stretch out both arms and the gods Bast and Sekhmet will lead you into the green and wide prairie, where you will run forever.
At the moment we don't know who will take Boseman's place in Black Panther II, but whoever will be will receive a really important legacy.
