On 29th August, 'Black Panther' star Chadwick Boseman dies from colon cancer.

Boseman became the first black superhero to get his own standalone film in the record-breaking Marvel franchise with 2018's "Black Panther."

The movie, set in the fictional African kingdom of Wakanda, was adored by critics and audiences, becoming the first comic book film to be nominated for best picture at the Oscars and grossing over $1 billion worldwide.

Earlier in his career, Boseman played black icons Jackie Robinson in "42" and James Brown in "Get on Up."

He recently appeared in Spike Lee's "Da 5 Bloods" and was set to appear in a sequel to "Black Panther" due in 2022.

"A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all" and filmed projects "during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy," the family's statement said.

Several days ago, on the SmartLess podcast, Robert Downey Jr has confirmed he won't be returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The star was asked about any upcoming plans within the MCU, to which he announced he was finished with Tony Stark and Iron Man.

Speaking to the 55-year-old about his work/life balance, host Jason Bateman asked: "I'm assuming that the Marvel thing is at a slower speed now... or you're done with that now?"

To which Downey Jr replied: "That's all done."
