    AP has just reported that Black Panther actor Chadwick Boseman has died after a four-year battle with colon cancer.

    I had no idea he even had cancer! :(

    Rest in peace, Chadwick. Thank you for all of the wonderful performances.

    This is insane. It sounds fake, but so many legitimate places are reporting it.

    RIP Chadwick Boseman.

    That was my initial thought but AP was the first place I saw reporting it so it had to be true. Unfortunately. :(

    And only a few years older me. :(

    He played Jackie Robinson in 42...and he died, at age 42, on the (rescheduled) Jackie Robinson Day.

    I was in the middle of playing City of Heroes MMO when someone announced this. I thought it was a joke. Dear Lord. I didn't know he was sick and that he had lost a lot of weight. I'm f'ing stunned right now. My condolences to his loved ones. :(

    I'd seen the pictures and figured he was preparing for a new role.

    RIP.

    I thought it was fake news but many news outlets are reporting it.

    I first saw him in the movie 42. And the last movie that i saw him in, was 21 Bridges.

    May he rest in peace.

    Very shocked to see this news this evening. So very sad.

    I never would have imagined this was real until seeing the April 2020 photos. Cancer sucks. He put up a good fight.

    R.I.P. sir, and my condolences to his family and friends.

    The dude is incredibly good looking, yet after the Black Panther movie, you'd think he would be with somebody, anybody.

    Now I understand why he hasn't had much of a public Romantic relationship with anybody.

    May he RiP!

    To me, he will always define the role of T'Challa, I hope Disney doesn't recast that role and just deal with his passing off-screen and have somebody else take over the role of Black Panther.

    Alas, no. We've got an election to weather, and a HYDRA figurehead to send packing...

    Woke up and this was the first thing I read. Couldn't believe it at first. Terrible news. Sympathies to his family and friends.
