The EDM community is reacting to the death of Chadwick Boseman — some with shock, some with sadness, and all with nothing but wholehearted respect for the young legend gone too soon.
Boseman is best known for his role as King T’Challa in Marvel‘s blockbuster hit Black Panther. He also played several historical figures throughout his career, including Jackie Robinson in 42, James Brown in Get on Up, and Thurgood Marshall in Marshall.
The post below on the actor’s official Twitter account reads:
A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you many of the films you have come to love so much. From Marshall to Da 5 Bloods, August Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and several more, all were filmed during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy
He died after a four year fight with colon cancer, during which he starred in 5 Marvel movies. Rest in peace.
