On Sunday, Black Panther director Ryan Coogler remembered how Boseman helped craft the character's on-screen presence and how dedicated he was to bringing T'Challa to life. "I noticed then that Chad was an anomaly," Coogler wrote of their first meeting. "He was calm. Assured. Constantly studying. But also kind, comforting, had the warmest laugh in the world, and eyes that see much beyond his years, but could still sparkle like a child seeing something for the first time."

prevI’m watching this Chadwick Boseman tribute and crying. It hurts me that he was in the MCU, which was a comfort for me when my mom was battling cancer, and died from the same disease. Fuck cancer.
