He kept his battle with cancer quiet from the public. Boseman died at home in Los Angeles with his wife and family present, according to his publicist.
Boseman notably played the parts of baseball icon Jackie Robinson and music superstar James Brown during his film career. However, his role as T’Challa, the king of the mythical African land of Wakanda, gave him international recognition. His family said in a statement: “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 and several more- all were filmed during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy. It was the honor of his career to bring King T’Challa to life in a biopic of baseball pioneer Jackie Robinson, the first Black player in major league baseball.
