Ever since news broke of Chadwick Boseman’s death from colon cancer, many parents have been fielding complicated and heartbreaking questions from their tiny Marvel fans about the passing of the “Black Panther” star.
King Westbrook said his 7-year-old son, Kian, was “devastated” when he learned of Boseman’s death at age 43.
“I’m not saying that lightly,” Westbrook, who lives in St. Louis, told TODAY Parents. “Chadwick was his hero. … Black Panther was important to him, because Kian loved seeing a superhero hero that looked like him. He understands Black Panther is fictional, but he made Kian believe a Black boy could grow up and be a strong Black superhero.” (NBC News)
