Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

WTF???

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

This is so fucking horrible on so many levels.

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

Man this is so sad

On Jackie Robinson day too

RIP

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

Fuck this year

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

Ugh, this year...

RIP Black Panther.

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

Sure wasn't expecting to hear this. :rip: :(

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

Omg!

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

Fuck! He seemed so healthy. I honestly would have guessed he was in his early 30s.

He had a lot of promise.

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

Shit, such a good actor. Saw 21 Bridges lately, and Black Panther was my favorite comic character when I was a kid.

Eff off, 2020.

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

Damn it. RIP.

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

I’m fucking shocked. Sad, shocked. Da 5 Bloods, Black Panther, Get on Up. He was fucking on the rise and so good in everything. This totally fucking sux!

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

Feel sorry for a lot of kids who lost their hero.

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

Most people didn’t even know he was sick. At least non celebrities.

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

It’s crazy that he was battling colon cancer throughout every single one of his Marvel appearances.

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

Ugh. I'm done with this year.

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

I had no idea he was sick. 4 years battling cancer. Fuck man.

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

He looked gaunt in the re-shot finale of "21 Bridges", and perhaps this explains it....

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

I am just shocked. He was on the Graham Norton Show this year and looked so happy and healthy. And was a great guest. Very personable. This is so sad.

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

Wow. Very sad & shocking. He was just getting started, it seemed. I was looking forward to seeing more from him. He'll certainly be greatly missed.

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

I’m just shocked and speechless, with tears rolling down my eyes. What his performance as Black Panther meant for everyone was invaluable. Man, seriously, fuck 2020.

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

If anyone here saw 21 Bridges last year, later in the movie, he looked like he lost massive weight compared to earlier in the movie. The movie went through reshoots. He was noticeably thinner. But, I took it as if he lost weight for a role.

I heard African Americans are extremely at high risk for colon cancer. Just sad. And to think he was sick for both Avengers movies and Black Panther.

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

He was such a great talent. I am speechless. Didn’t even know he was sick. What an immeasurable loss.

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

Like others, I'm shocked and saddened. He was a fantastic actor.

I hate you 2020.

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

Crazy. Definitely feels out of nowhere. Had no idea he was sick at all. I have to wonder if the MCU recasts T’Challa or if there will be a new Black Panther.

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

Just saw this on the news. Brutal.

RIP

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

There were articles from April commenting on his weight loss, but it was speculated it was for Da 5 Bloods.

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

Holy shit

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

I'm sure they will recast but wouldn't be surprised if they move something else into BP2's spot in the schedule.

Terrible news.

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

Chadwick Boseman, truly noble. Wakanda Forever!

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

Honestly knew he was probably dying. He posted a video on instagram a while back and was super super skinny. Many people questioned if he had cancer or not. Crazy he kept it hidden for 4 years.

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

Unfortunately I was. There were low-key news stories of Boseman being sighted at a hospital in a wheel chair and looking severely emaciated. It's been a topic of discussion in other places.

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

WTF???


It's amazing that in this day and age they were able to keep his cancer a secret. For most of us, this just came out of nowhere and blindsided us. It's just so shocking.

I really liked (and will always like) Chadwick. I was very happy when he was cast as Black Panther, but his career was a lot more than just that.

This is a huge loss. He had such a great future ahead of him, and now that's been taken away - from both him AND us.

I'm just stunned.

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

Even Chuck is pissed about this.

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

I hope they don’t recast. He was BP. That’s it. End franchise. Anyone else would be disservice.

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

Chuck is pissed about everything. But rightfully so.

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

The last thing anyone cares about is recasting Black Panther right now. I think Coogler probably doesn't give a shit.

The 1st movie made a ton of money, but I don't think you can recast to be honest. Retire the character.

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

I can easily see Winston Duke can take over or someone like that. Marvel will honor him right and continue he character, and in good taste. But you try telling millions of kids who’s role model he is and say no more Black Panther.

Another time and place it’ll be discussed. But not now.

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

Holy freakin' crap, this was a total punch to the gut! Daaamn, that just ain't right on any level.

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

I would agree with that, except that the character is so important to so many people - a positive role model type in the movies - you can't just have him disappear.

They've got to carry on. African American kids need their top level superhero in the movies.

They just need to give it another year or two beyond what they were planning, and do a REALLY good job of recasting - and find a way to honor Chadwick in the movie. (Like they did Stan Lee...)

Re: Chadwick Boseman dead at 43
 

In a four year span he was James Brown, Jackie Robinson, Thurgood Marshall and Black Panther.

Thats a lot of icons.

If they continue with the BP series, I would rather see them focus on Shuri, Okoye and Nakia.
