Jesus. That's too soon. So the poor guy has been battling cancer since before he joined the MCU and working on two films a year since his diagnosis.
He wasn't diagnosed until 2016, a year after his first MCU movie ("Captain America: Civil War") premiered.
Still, this means that he was already going through cancer treatments by the time that "Black Panther" was filmed (principal photography began on January 21, 2017), and he also acted in "Avengers; Infinity War", "Avengers: Endgame", "Marshall", "Da 5 Bloods", "21 Bridges", and "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom" between surgeries and chemotherapy. I don't know how he was able to do it at all, much less without the public becoming aware.
I always knew that he was a great actor, but this makes me respect him even more.
