Mark Ruffalo and Viola Davis share snaps of children mourning Chadwick Boseman with Black Panther toys
On Sunday, three-time Oscar nominee Mark Ruffalo shared another tribute to his fallen Avengers castmate - Chadwick Boseman - who died, age 43, on Friday after a private four-year battle with stage IV colon cancer.
The Kenosha-born 52-year-old - who boasts 31.7M followers - tweeted snaps of children mourning the SAG Award winner with their action figures, writing: 'This is his power and impact on the next generation. #ChadwickForever'
Mark was especially touched considering he's the father of three children - Keen, 19; Bella, 15; and Odette, 12 - with his wife of a decade, Sunrise Coigney.

'All I have to say is the tragedies amassing this year have only been made more profound by the loss of #ChadwickBoseman,' Ruffalo previously wrote on Friday.
'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.'
The Dark Waters actor and Chadwick co-starred as Bruce Banner/The Hulk and T'Challa/Black Panther, respectively, in Avengers: Infinity War in 2018, and Avengers: Endgame in 2019.

Boseman's other co-star Viola Davis shared three tributes to him - one of which featured an African-American boy crying over his Black Panther action figures while giving the Wakanada Forever crossed arm pose.
The South Carolina-born 55-year-old quoted Mary Elizabeth Frye's 1932 poem Do Not Stand at My Grave and wrote: 'The power of legacy is that you become immortal. Thinking about you today Chadwick and all you left. You did so good!'
Viola - who's a Grammy away from EGOT status - had the privilege of acting with the Denzel Washington protégé in his final film, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, which starts streaming later this year on Netflix.
