Celebrities are paying tribute to Chadwick Boseman, following the Black Panther actor’s tragic passing over the weekend.

The 43-year-old died after a four-year-battle with colon cancer, which he chose to keep private.

Chadwick had small roles in television, before landing the role of baseball icon Jackie Robinson in ’42’, and soul legend James Brown in ‘Get on Up’.

In 2018, he landed the role that we would become most known for, playing T’Challa, the king of Wakanda, in Marvel’s ‘Black Panther’. The movie was the first superhero movie to receive a Best Picture nomination at the Academy Awards, and was a cultural milestone with a largely black cast and a black director.

His Marvel co-stars, former President Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey, The Rock, and many others have posted touching tributes to Chadwick on social media.
