R.I.P. Chadwick Boseman. Dead At 43 After Four Year Fight With Colon Cancer

[DesertPenguin]

**** Cancer.

 

[McLaren]

Can we just speed run the rest of the year? Such heartbreaking news to hear.

 

[andrea]

All those times he looked tired and/or bored during the press tour was because he was sick and fighting cancer. What a fight.

Rest in peace Chadwick.

 

[MisterWaffles]

Agreed. I wish 2020 had a simulate session button somewhere.

RIP Chadwick, great actor and Black Panther was probably the one Marvel movie I was hoping for a sequel to above all others.

 

[DesertPenguin]

If it's any consolation, they can write in someone else taking over the mantle of Black Panther, just as they did when T'Challa took it after his father passed.

Doesn't T'Challa have a sister?

That's what makes me sick. They made a meme out of him from those press tours and all this time he was battling cancer.

His health issues were none of our business but at the same time this comes as a shock. This news really hurt.


Was a fan of his portrayal as Black Panther and was even a bigger fan when he made 21 Bridges. A good movie to stray away from the MCU drama and constant bombardment. Allowed him to make one more serious movie.

It's a good thing I have no idea what you're talking about

 

[Epic B]

I didn't even know he was sick.

 

[Mr P]

Such sad news.. and way too young, RIP Chadwick

 

[DesertPenguin]

I didn't even know he was sick.

No one did. He was able to keep it a secret for four years which is incredible.

 

[c172fccc]

Damn, I really didn't expect to see this news. Rest in peace.

 

[Epic B]

No one did. He was able to keep it a secret for four years which is incredible.

Another person who comes to mind is David Bowie, who also managed to keep pretty quiet about having cancer.

Heroic accomplishments whilst he was going through the hell of cancer. Incredible strength of character.

 

[Terronium-12]

🤬 wow. I don't even know what else to say. Can 2020 🤬 all the way off now, please?

 

[GTboyz]

A few months ago there were photos of him so skinny being taken to a hospital in wheelchair. Guess now it makes sense.

RIP.

****. Putting aside the fact he was a great actor, he was also only 3 years older than me... that hits hard.

 

[Epic B]

And I thought we were getting rid of Black Friday.

****. Putting aside the fact he was a great actor, he was also only 3 years older than me... that hits hard.

And he was not much younger than my parents.

 

[UKMikey]

Bloody hell. He was looking really thin. I'm glad he was at least able hit the top with a hit movie.

 

[Dave A]

Sad news, he's only a few years older than me. He was a great actor and from all the accounts he seemed like a genuinely decent person too.

 

[Joey D]

**** Cancer.

I don't think I know who Boseman is, but I totally agree with this statement. It's sad anytime someone dies so young of an awful disease.

If you've seen a movie with a prolific black cast in the last ten years you've seen him. He's Black Panther dude!

Gonna watch Da 5 bloods tonight.

To do the amount of filming (12 films/IMDB) he did over the last 4years, in between treatment, hats doffed.

 

[ryzno]

RIP, was sad trying to explain his death to my son.
He sent me a picture this morning with his Black Panther outfit and bike helmet on...

 

[UKMikey]

This 2018 interview in which he said he pushed himself to finish the film so that the young fans with terminal cancer he was corresponding with could get to see it has a slightly different perspective now that we know how much he had in common with them.

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

He seemed like a really awesome dude...was very sad to see this.

 

[Populuxe]

Jackie Robinson, Thurgood Marshall, T'Challa. He was as iconic as the characters he portrayed.

I love this video he recorded with Jimmy Fallon of him surprising fans while they talk about what Black Panther meant to them.

To celebrate the life of Chadwick Boseman, most Black Panther comics are currently free on Comixology. Collections are not free, but the single issues are. I bought 135 comics over the weekend, paid nothing for them.

Christopher Priest's run is the best. Jack Kirby's run is mad but fun.

I only started reading BP when Ta-Nehisi Coates started writing it, so I'm way behind. I'm looking forward to getting into the older stories, especially the Priest and Kirby stories.
