Even crazier is that he played Jackie Robinson in “42”, he died yesterday, and yesterday was Jackie Robinson day in Major League Baseball, a day in which every player bears the number 42 on their jerseys in honor of him.

Popular Post JohnnyD 1,223 Posted August 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 29, 2020 This is incredibly heartbreaking. It hits me hard particularly because my Dad was diagnosed with the same thing, the same year and passed away two years later, the day before the release of Black Panther; the scene in the film when T'Challa first visits the Ancestral Plane brought a few tears to my eyes. Grant him eternal rest, dear God. May Your Perpetual Light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. He was a good man with a good heart.

bruce marshall 1,315 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I've been reading obits that seem to make claims for him that are dubious. As I mentioned above , I'm a big fan and his death devastated me. But was he a " Pioneer" who 1. played the first black super hero? 2. Proved that a black actor could headline a big budget action film? These dubious claims do a disservice to people like WILL SMITH who was the star of the blockbuster ID4. What about Wesley Snipes ( BLADE) Eddie Murphy ( BHC)? Don Cheadle?(IRON MAN) He follows in the footsteps of other black actors. Others will follow on.his. Rip.

mrbellamy 6,286 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Coogler’s statement saying he was “shielded from details” seemed to imply that he knew he had cancer but not much else. I don’t think he knew the extent of it, treatment etc. Spike Lee said he didn’t know at all. KK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably knew he was sick, but it was clear they were NOT aware that he was in advance stages of colon cancer. Some people don't want to be defined by what they die from. That's why Boseman kept it secret. KK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Was he aware of his condition while shooting Civil War? Or was that too early and wasn't diagnosed yet?

TheUlyssesian 2,478 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Apparently no one knew. Coogler had ZERO idea. Ditto Spike Lee. It was somehow entirely kept a secret. Some people are calling into question whether it was ethical to hide something so consequential when literally billions of dollars are on the line and their are insurers and lawyers involved but so it stands - he apparently kept it entirely secret.

Matt C 453 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 According to the Hollywood Reporter, Boseman believed he was going to beat the cancer up until a week ago, while preparing to enter training for BP2 (which was initially slated to begin filming March 2021). Then things rapidly went downhill. Apart from his family members, only his producing partner, trainer, agent and 42 director Brian Helgeland knew to varying degrees about his cancer diagnosis. Marvel and everyone else was kept in the dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
