FANS ARE STILL HEARTBROKEN

Boseman, a prolific actor who starred in several iconic movies, died on August 28 after a four-year private battle with stage IV colon cancer. Many fans were shocked and heartbroken over his untimely death.

The sad news rocked Hollywood. Many celebrities who had worked with Boseman in various films were not aware that he had been fighting cancer since his 2016 diagnosis.

Marvel Entertainment, which first introduced Boseman in a string of Marvel films, also took to Twitter to share a video montage as a way to honor the actor, which they captioned: "Long live the King. #WakandaForever."

SIMONE LEDWARD AS FAMILY'S ADMINISTRATOR

Boseman’s loss brought changes to his family. The actor’s wife, Simone Ledward, was recently named by a judge as the administrator of her husband’s nearly $1 million worth estate.

The actor didn’t leave any will before his death. Ledward, who has limited authority over her husband’s estate, was given until February 22, 2021, to file a $939,000 bond and distribute the assets.

Boseman and Ledward lived a private life together as they never publicized their relationship. The last time they were seen in public was during the NBA All-Star Game in Chicago last February.

Recently, fans became emotional while remembering Boseman’s stellar performance when he was still alive. Emotions were triggered after streaming giant Netflix shared the actor’s movie "Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom" on Instagram.

The film, which is based on a 1920 Chicago music band, showed off Boseman’s versatile acting, alongside Davis, an award-winning actress. It was the last movie the actor appeared in before he died.
