The actor passed away at his home in the Los Angeles area with his wife and family by his side. They did not specify when he died.

'It is with immeasurable grief that we confirm the passing of Chadwick Boseman. Chadwick was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in 2016, and battled with it these last 4 years as it progressed to stage IV,' the family said.

'A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you many of the films you have come to love so much.'

The family revealed several of Boseman's recent films, including Marshall, Da 5 Bloods, and August Wilson's Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, were filmed 'during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy.'

But upon news of his death, his colleagues and friends pay homage to someone they considered a hero in his own right. A man who fought a private health battle for four years while also producing the kind of powerful and important work some actors can only hope to produce in a much longer life than Boseman had.
