Kind of shocking that Chadwick Boseman has died.  He was 43. I didn't even know he was sick.

He was one of Hollywood's top stars.  While best known as the title character in Black Panther, I don't consider that his best performance.  I much prefer him in the films that originally brought him fame, where he portrayed historical figures.

He was Jackie Robinson in 42, James Brown in Get On Up and Thurgood Marshall in Marshall.  Three completely different performances, but all excellent.

In some ways, he was just hitting his stride.  He'll be missed.

Are you saying Black Panther is not an historical figure?
