The entertainment scene suffered a heavy loss on Friday, August 28, 2020, when news broke that Chadwick Boseman passed on. At the age of 43 Chadwick Boseman has been famous for his roles in Star of 42, 21 Bridges, and renowned Marvel Studios' Black Panther.
He tragically succumbed to stage IV colon cancer, which he had kept a secret from the public and bravely fought it for four years. This is a dark time for Hollywood, the Marvel fandom, and the entire world, as one of its most talented entertainers has left the land of the living far too soon.
Among those who celebrated were
