Boseman said last year that the film had changed what it means to be “young, gifted and black”.

Black Panther was the first superhero film to get a nomination for best picture at the Oscars.

He also played the same role in other Marvel films Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.

A sequel was in the works and due to come out in 2022, with Boseman set to return.

The news of his death came as a shock to many as Boseman never discussed his diagnosis publicly.

However, fans started raising concerns over his health this year due to noticeable weight loss.

Among those who left messages on social media were his Avengers co-stars Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo and Chris Pratt. US Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden in a tweet said Boseman’s power was ‘bigger than anything we saw on screen.’
