Before catapulting to international stardom and acclaim as T’Challa of fictitious African country Wakanda aka superhero Black Panther in the MCU films, Boseman was known for essaying historical black icons like baseball star Jackie Robinson in “42”, singer-songwriter James Brown in “Get on Up” and the first African-American Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall in “Marshall”. Besides the titular role in the landmark film “Black Panther” celebrating black identity, he starred as the magnetic superhero in the other MCU projects like “Captain America: Civil War”, “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Avengers: Endgame”.

“Black Panther” was a major hit for Disney-owned Marvel Studios, grossing over USD 1.3 billion in worldwide gross and becoming the first superhero film to be nominated for the best picture at Oscars. The film took home three trophies for original score, costume design and production design. Boseman completed work on several films, including “Marshall”, “Da 5 Bloods” and the upcoming “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom”, during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy.
