He died at home in Los Angeles with his wife and family by his side, a statement posted on social media said.
Boseman was diagnosed with colon cancer four years before his death but had not made the information public.
While marking his 2nd death anniversary in August, Lupita said filming season 2 of Wakanda was challenging but powerful.
"It was very therapeutic. It restored a sense of hope for me in making it, and I think we’ve expanded the world of Wakanda in ways that will blow people’s minds — not just Wakanda, but the Black Panther world. It’s going to blow people’s minds, and I just cannot wait until it’s not a secret anymore."
Check out tribute messages from Lupita's fans;
