chadwickboseman It is with immeasurable grief that we confirm the passing of Chadwick Boseman.
Chadwick was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in 2016, and battled with it these last 4 years as it progressed to stage IV.
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. He died in his home, with his wife and family by his side.
The family thanks you for your love and prayers, and asks that you continue to respect their privacy during this difficult time.

DID YOU KNOW the characters in @Netflix’s western revenge tale #TheHarderTheyFall were based on actual figures from the old west? 🤠 👆 Check out this original art by Tumblr Creatr Patience Lekien based on the IRL Bass Reeves! Born into slavery in Arkansas, Bass Reeves escaped to Indian Territory after being forced to assist his enslaver during the Civil War. Officially freed by the 13th Amendment, he became one of the first U.S. deputy marshals west of the Mississippi River in 1875. For 32 years, he hunted down 3,000+ criminals—including white men charged with crimes against Black people, and once, his own son. A fearsome quick draw artist, Reeves routinely rounded up dozens of outlaws at a time. Many think he was the inspiration for the fictional Lone Ranger. Reeves was relieved of his duty in 1907, when the newly minted state of Oklahoma’s law made it illegal for Black men to serve. (1838–1910) 🎥 Watch The Harder They Fall, playing in select theaters on October 22 and on Netflix globally on November 3.
First day of the semester, not bad eh
Thank you for the memories Nichelle Nichols. Rest easy in the stars.
You haven’t tried. You’re like a goddess and I’m insanely insecure. Getting mad at me for it won’t change anything. What do you want me to do?
