So shocking. He had been battling colon cancer for the past 4 years, but had not spoken about it publicly.

Sad.  Although I respect his privacy, he would have been the perfect spokesperson to speak about this disease.  I have straight African American friends, over 40, some over 50,  that refuse to acknowledge anything pertaining to colon cancer and prostate cancer.  They either ignore the subject or say it won't happen to them.  One, even seriously stated it "was a white person's disease".  His diet is almost entirely fast food and  is overweight.

This is so awful, even if it hadn't come out of nowhere. He was so talented and right in the prime of his career. I don't think I'll ever stop wondering what lied ahead for him.

Rest in Power, Mr. Boseman. You were deeply respected and loved. Too much loss this year.

Someone shared this on Twitter, and I’ll put it here.

I think he must have deliberately  kept it quiet- can't see otherwise how he'd have been insured for the Marvel films otherwise. . He!! Can't see how he did all those action movies period. 

Just rewatched the Marvel movies again .

He elevated the material so much. 

Too soon. He will be much missed.

I'd like to put in a good word for Spike Lee's "Da Five Bloods," also starring BWW fave Norm Lewis. It's on The Netflix station.

that is a real sad. More sad that people didn`t appreciate his acting when he was alive, but that is usual. 
His acting in 42 was not worse that in black panther. RIP man

He was beloved by a LOT of people in the world and as often happens with tragic young deaths, more people will discover why others found him so special. It's not like he had no idea of the profound impact of his work.

I liked him in 21 Bridges. Stunt work in the film was an A+ by the way.....
