The more we learn about the death of Chadwick Boseman - the more we learn about his strength and his bravery
According to the Hollywood Reporter, very few people (including Marvel Studios) knew that he was sick.
It's unimaginable to think about his workload the last 4 years - all while battling this horrific disease
The Hollywood Reporter explains more:
On Aug. 28, Marvel chief creative officer Kevin Feige received an urgent email regarding Chadwick Boseman, with no further information. Unbeknownst to anyone at the studio, the Black Panther star had been battling colon cancer privately for four-plus years and had taken a sudden turn for the worse. By the time Feige read the message an hour later, Boseman already had died, sending shock waves through Disney and the tight-knit Marvel Cinematic Universe.
A source close to Boseman tellsThe Hollywood Reporter that the 43-year-old actor, who had become noticeably thin in recent months, was convinced until about a week before his death that he was going to beat cancer and would be able to gain the weight back for a Black Panther sequel that was scheduled to go into production in March. The actor was even set to prepare for the new film beginning in September.
