Chadwick Boseman’s family had their lawyers fire off a letter to his widow weeks after the actor’s death ... putting her on notice to preserve all of the data on his iPhone ... TMZ has learned.

TMZ obtained the letter, dated November 16, 2020, from lawyers for Chadwick’s parents and brothers -- Leroy, Carolyn, Derrick and Kevin Boseman -- to lawyers for his widow Taylor Simone Ledward Boseman.

The family’s lawyer requested that Simone's legal team agree to "execute a release for Chad’s medical records" and asked that they digitally image his cell phones, computers, iPads, and other electronics to preserve any relevant information.

Chadwick Boseman's widow is blasting his brothers for dragging her name through the mud ... claiming their lawsuit is nothing but a "public-relations stunt" to smear her in the tabloids.

Taylor Simone Ledward filed a legal response, firing back at Derrick and Kevin Boseman, who recently asked the court to ax her as the administrator of the estate and replace her with attorney Jason Rubin.

Taylor says she shouldn't be removed from the position ... because she's done nothing wrong -- listing her numerous disbursements to Chadwick's parents, Carolyn and Leroy, in the years since his death.

That's endgame for Chris Evans' Hollywood Hills home ... because he just sold it for over $5 mil, TMZ has learned.

He had listed it for $6.3 mil back in June and closed the sale today, but seemingly slashed the price at the 11th hour to make the perfect score.

And honestly, feels like a steal ... because check out this gorgeous kitchen! It's equipped with an impressive 60-inch Wolf range.

Drake just went from Iceman to Iron Man ... rocking Tony Stark's signature armor in Toronto ... and filming what appears to be an upcoming music video.

Drizzy was spotted roaming the Canadian National Exhibition in the iconic red-and-gold Marvel hero armor ... greeting fans and looking ready to drop bars -- or blast somebody with a repulsor beam.

And Drake wasn't flying solo ... another person decked out in a silver Iron Man-style suit was right there with him.

Mary Rivera, who played Ned Leeds' Filipino grandmother in "Spider-Man: No Way Home," has died ... TMZ has learned.

A family member tells TMZ ... Mary suffered a stroke and doctors warned the family her condition was extremely serious. The relative says doctors told them even if Mary emerged from the coma, her prognosis would not be good, so the family made the difficult decision to remove her from life support.

Mary passed away April 15 in Honolulu. We're told the actress was later cremated.

It's Spider-Man Day ... so allow us to swing in and remind you of all the past Spider-people from the ever-growing Spider-Verse -- arachnophobia trigger warning!!!

You've seen plenty of Spideys in the headlines ... like Hailee Steinfeld, who plays Spider-Gwen in the 'Spider-Verse' movies ... and just hatched her own little spiderling with husband Josh Allen!

Speaking of couples, Tom Holland found his MJ -- literally -- with Zendaya ... but both of them have been jumping around rumors they had a secret webbing wedding!

We might need to hire another arachnid-themed hero -- AKA "The World's Greatest Detective" -- to get some answers for us. We know it's a different universe, but still!

Both Tom and Zendaya will once again feature in the newest addition to the 'Spider-Man' collection ... but check out the gallery to reminisce about all of the previous Spidey heroes that have graced the silver screen!

Zendaya spun one seriously sexy web at the "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" premiere ... turning up in a plunging black gown that looked like it was ready to crawl right off the carpet.

The actress stole the show Monday night at Hollywood's Dolby Theatre ... thanks to a plunging black dress with a massive skirt and two thin straps that appeared to float above her shoulders like spider legs.

Zendaya completed the sultry look with diamond earrings and funky, slicked-down bangs curling across her forehead ... while her enormous engagement ring flashed on her left hand -- keeping our spidey-senses tingling that she and Tom Holland have tied the knot.

David Jonsson is already enjoying the perks of being Wakanda's new king ... stepping out with a bevy of beauties just one day after landing the coveted "Black Panther" mantle.

The 32-year-old actor was spotted leaving Mr. Chow Sunday in Beverly Hills surrounded by several women -- and he looked plenty comfortable with his new crew ... slinging an arm around one of the ladies before everyone piled into a waiting SUV.

The dinner came one day after Ryan Coogler officially introduced David as the new Black Panther during Marvel's presentation at San Diego Comic-Con.

Guess Spider-Man doesn't need to come swinging in to get between his woman and a would-be suitor ... because Zendaya is telling any flirts she and Tom Holland are hitched -- kinda.

Check out the video ... Zendaya was in Mexico on Wednesday rocking the red carpet for "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" ... and one of the paps just couldn't contain himself shouting, "Will you marry me please?!"

Then, with a shrug ... Zendaya responds, "you're too late" ... all but confirming what everyone's been dying to get in fine print -- that she and Tom are married.

Better get the boys to help you guess who this white-hot actress is ... if you don't already recognize her bodacious bosom.

Trust us ... when you figure out who the beautiful babe in the white dress is ... you'll be seeing starlight - literally, in a way.

If you haven't guessed it already ... we'll spell it out for you a little more. This actress is best known for her role in "The Boys," but has also starred in other shows like "True Detective" and Marvel's "Jessica Jones."

Wai Ching Ho -- a longtime actress best known for her role in several Marvel TV series -- has died ... according to several former costars.

Peter Shinkoda -- who appeared with Wai Ching in "Daredevil" -- shared a photo of the pair from the show ... writing in the caption that he "learned every minute from you when we were together on and off set." He added the two will see each other again one day.

"The World’s Greatest" star Judy Lei also shared her distress at Wai Ching's passing ... sharing memories from the film they worked on together -- and noting Wai Ching never became frustrated with her lack of experience, jumping in with no inhibitions.

Chris Evans is looking to get his stunning Hollywood Hills home off his hands ... slashing the price and placing it back on the market for $6.3 million.

Check out the gorgeous 4-bedroom mansion ... it offers sweeping views of Los Angeles and it's decked out with vineyard-inspired gardens plus a pool and spa that once allowed the "Captain America" star a tranquil escape after a hard day's work.

Inside, the 4,599-square-foot gem lets natural light pour in ... with vaulted ceilings and large picture windows, plus skylights in a kitchen outfitted with a 60-inch Wolf range beneath a 10-foot custom hood with a bunch of luxury odds and ends, including a Miele espresso system and Bianca marble countertop.

Jon Bernthal’s 11-year-old daughter scored a massive payday for working with her dad on his latest "Punisher" project, TMZ has learned. 

TMZ obtained the contract Addie Bernthal signed on July 15, 2025, to appear in Disney+’s "The Punisher: One Last Kill" … a TV special for the streaming service.

Jon’s wife, Erin Bernthal, signed the paperwork. 

Spencer Pratt's supporters have an endgame for his campaign for mayor of Los Angeles ... pitting him as the hero L.A. needs opposite Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom as Marvel villains ... at least according to a new A.I. attack ad shared online.

The new video dropped Wednesday ... and it borrows heavily from "Avengers: Endgame" and other superhero movies ... with Spencer as Batman facing off against Mayor Bass as Thanos and Governor Newsom as Doctor Doom.

In the ad, Newsom, Bass, former VP Kamala Harris, and a marionette of fellow mayoral candidate Nithya Raman propose "evil" ideas to make L.A. worse and stop Spencer from becoming mayor.

Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good turned themselves into Marvel characters in a series of social media pics -- but the strange thing is, all the photos are fake.

Meagan posted the carousel of A.I. images on Instagram Monday, showing herself as Marvel superhero Storm, in a dark latex bodysuit, and her actor husband as a variant of the villain, Kang, dressed in a black suit and tie -- identical to Victor Timely, his role from Season 2 of "Loki."

One pic shows them playing cricket -- even on horseback -- and another shows them making themselves a burrito behind a food counter. One depicts them posing as the same Marvel characters at the Met Gala, too.
