Although Boseman had been diagnosed in 2016, fans and celebrities alike were unaware of his battle with cancer.

Following his diagnosis, he underwent surgery to remove the colon cancer and had laparoscopic surgery to remove cancer that had metastasized in March of this year.

Tributes immediately poured in for the NAACP Image Awards winner as he was remembered for the several roles he played that depicted Black heroes, legends, athletes, and many more. He filmed seven movies after his diagnosis with his final film Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom set to be released on Netflix later this year.

In an emotional post on Instagram, Lupita Nyong’o, who worked alongside Boseman in Black Panther, addresses how he pushed through and worked with such a high purpose that in return, “Chadwick has made the infinite his home.”
