Actor Chadwick Boseman, who played the iconic role of Black Panther, died of cancer on Friday at the age of 43. Boseman was diagnosed with colon cancer four years ago. His family said several of Boseman's films -- including "Marshall," "Da 5 Bloods," and "Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom" -- were shot during and between surgeries and chemoterapy. Boseman had played Black icons Jackie Robinson and James Brown on screen before finding fame as the regal Black Panther. His “Wakanda Forever” salute reverberated around the world after the release of “Black Panther” two and a half years ago.
