His family posted on twitter that “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. It was the honor of his career to bring King T’Challa to life in Black Panther.”
