Chadwick Boseman not only kept his battle with cancer out of the public eye, he also kept it from Marvel Studios.
It was announced last week in a statement by family that the actor had died after a battle with colon cancer.
The Hollywood Reporter has revealed Marvel Studios were
not aware of Boseman's cancer diagnosis.
The star was even able to evade semi-traditional physical examinations by doctors before filming, as large studios often forgo the process, a film finance lawyer told The Hollywod Reporter.
