    Probably best known for "Black Panther" I remember him as Jackie Robinson in "42" and James Brown in "Get On Up". Colon cancer at 43. Great actor gone too soon!

    I've not seen most Marvel movies. Just Guardians of the Galaxy 1 and 2. Yeah. I know. Sue me.

    So I never saw him as Black Panther in any of the movies. But he was great as Jackie Robinson. And he dies on Jackie Robinson day. Maybe poetic. I don't know.

    RIP

    I'm happy to say, I haven't seen any Marvel movies! My wife loves them though.

    Truly sad and he was filming some of these movies while undergoing treatment and still no one knew. Amazing feat in itself.

    RIP Chadwick Boseman.

    @Ray D , I don’t know if it’s just because you have never gotten around to them or just not your cup of tea but they are really good movies. Black Panther was very good and Captain America: Winter Soldier may be my favorite of them all, excellent movie.

    A bit of both. Spiderman and Captain America never appealed to me. By the time the first Avengers came around, I was way behind and never really had time to catch up. Maybe one day.

    Saw him as James Brown last week. Not even a James Brown fan, but he played him to a t. Saw him as Jackie Robinson and never knew it was him. Will have to look for Marshall, where he plays Thurgood Marshall.

    The good thing about a lot of these movies is you can watch them as stand alone and not be lost too much if at all. The thing I loved about Winter Soldier is it had a really good bad guy, one of those bad guys you can’t help like because he is such a bad ass. There is also a really good car chase scene with Samuel Jackson.

    Scarlett Johansson also stars heavily in it and I can never grow tired of looking at her.

    I thought...Black Panther, Age of Ultron, and X- Men Apocalypse were the worst of the Marvel movies, but I collected comics for a long time. So. I mean killing Klaw off in 1st 20 mins of the Black Panther....well....it would be like if the 1st Batman movie just came out and they killed off the Joker 20 mins in. I can't even get started on the other 2 I mentioned . I'd be here all day
