A terminally ill Missouri teen’s last wish was to see “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” was able to happen before he passed away.

19-year-old Jaylon Hamilton was always shy person, according to his sister, Jatavia Davis. The siblings lost both of their parents at a young age, and Davis stepped in and took care of her little brother.

“Once he gets the feel of a person, or he gets to know you, he’ll open up like a book,” Davis told KSDK News.

Doctors discovered a large tumor, and Hamilton was diagnosed with a rare form of nerve cell cancer in January 2021. This was so severe that chemotherapy and radiation couldn’t help him, KSDK reported.

“Everything that we were doing for him was trying to prolong his life for as long as we could and to try to maintain as good of a quality of life as we could,” Washington University oncologist Dr. Angela Hirbe said.

Hirbe says Hamilton didn’t talk much at their appointments, however, when he did speak, he would talk about his love for superhero movies. The teen wanted to see the new Marvel “Black Panther” sequel. Therefore, the doctor went on Facebook for help on Nov. 8.

By that time, Hamilton was in hospice care.

“I’m trying to find a way to borrow a copy of the new Black Panther movie that we can show him in the hospital,” Hirbe wrote.

The post was shared 153 times and somehow the news got back to Marvel, and a employee flew to St. Louis with a copy of the movie.

The December 5th Fund, a nonprofit offering support to cancer patients’ families, provided Hamilton with smoothies he could enjoy, two gift baskets of other treats and Black Panther memorabilia.

“A lot of my patients have big families and lots of family and friends. They always have people around taking care of him,” the doctor said. “I just think that he and his sister had to work really hard in life. They have each other, but I wanted him to feel like he had a village behind him.”

Hamilton lost his battle with cancer on Nov. 18, shortly after watching “Wakanda Forever.”

“I’m just grateful that, that this could happen for him,” Hirbe said.
