Following the shocking news Friday that “Black Panther” star Chadwick Boseman died following a four-year battle with cancer, the actor’s friends, peers and colleagues mourned his loss.
“You were always light and love to me,” Boseman’s friend, actor Don Cheadle said on Twitter.
“May you have a beautiful return, King. We will miss you so,” producer-director Ava DuVernay wrote.
“This is a crushing blow,” wrote actor-director Jordan Peele.
“This Broke Me,” “Insecure” star Issa Rae said.
In a statement Friday night, Boseman’s family disclosed that he was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2016 and had been quietly battling the disease ever since.
