"Black Panther" star Chadwick Boseman died after a four year battle with colon cancer on Friday. He was 43.

"It was the honor of his career to bring King T'Challa to life in Black Panther. He died in his home, with his wife and family by his side," Chadwick Boseman's family's part statement reads on Instagram.

Boseman made his debut with his wife, Taylor Simone Ledward as a couple on the red carpet at the SAG Awards in January 2019. They made their final public appearance together at the NBA All-Star Game in February.

The star's "Avengers" co-stars paid tribute to him after the shocking news of their friend's death. Mark Ruffalo who plays the Hulk in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, was one of the first to comment on Twitter.

All I have to say is the tragedies amassing this year have only been made more profound by the loss of #ChadwickBoseman. What a man, and what an immense talent. Brother, you were one of the all time greats and your greatness was only beginning. Lord love ya. Rest in power, King.
