News Chadwick Boseman has died of colon cancer

Terrible. Cancer is so relentless no matter what your age you are.
He will be missed as he takes his next journey.
 
Man that is way too young. And no I had no idea he was fighting colon cancer. 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.
I think he was married.
 
I think T'Challa's character should be properly honored in the next Black Panther film as dying of disease and passing on the mantle to Shuri or some other appropriate family member who will carry on the "Black Panther" name.

There's no reason to recast T'Challa, his character was beloved by the fans, the actor: Chadwick Boseman is beloved as well.

I think Disney/Marvel should acknowledge it and move on.

For the rest of my days, T'Challa's live action visage will always be Chadwick Boseman in my mind. I wouldn't want it to change, that would be dishonoring Chadwicks hard work on screen.

Such heartbreaking news. He was still so young and had so many wonderful opportunities ahead of him.

His family and friends must be devastated. :(
 
Honest to god - last night i was rewatching Black Panther before i went to bed and i wake up to this :(

RIP Mr Boseman, you were an awesome actor.
 
A friend send this to me and it was the first thing I woke up to.....
I never knew him as an actor before Black Panther, and the character was quite unknown to me. But his performance instantly made me like T'Challa a lot. In his role as that character he will be missed, but quite likely not as much as the role he played in the lives of his family and friends. Safe journey Chadwick, rest in peace.
 
WOW. People just thought he lost alot of weight during the period when not shooting movies

I assumed it was for a role as well. I remember seeing these pics about 6 months ago I think. I do not think it was public knowledge that he was fighting this. RIP.
 
Jesus fuck what a champion, realising you may die very young, but still press on with movie roles of a lifetime and conquer the world before blinking out (and a few months ago we had pictures of Mr. Boseman looking very emaciated and on hindsight that was clear signs of cancer advancing/treatment side effects).
