His family said in a statement that the actor was diagnosed with colon cancer four years ago. “A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all and brought you many of the films you have come to love so much,” his family said in the statement. “From Marshall to Da 5 Bloods, August Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, and several others, all were filmed during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy. It was his career honor to bring King T’Challa to life in Black Panther.”
