**** You 2020 {nm} Moviesnob Aug 28, 19:23

Sad news. RIP {nm} jdaniel Aug 28, 19:23

Link to statement from his family on his official Twitter. notfabio Aug 28, 19:23

He posted a video back in March looking frail, back in 2018 he broke down about two fans that died of Cancer before they could see Panther. notfabio Aug 28, 19:28

But as far as I can see, he never disclosed that he was fighting it since 2016. {nm} notfabio Aug 28, 19:29

Never publicly. I am curious as to whether Marvel knew. {nm} Jay_Beezy Aug 28, 20:36

to be insured on Black Panther/Avengers, almost certainly {nm} pickle rick! Aug 28, 22:40

I’m guessing he probably let them know beforehand that he likely wouldn’t be around to play the role anymore. {nm} Jay_Beezy Aug 29, 06:12

He didn't have cancer when he was cast in 2014. {nm} Antibody Aug 29, 08:04

I know that. But surely he had to have let Marvel know of his condition when he found out. Jay_Beezy Aug 29, 10:02

This is truly tragic. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Aug 28, 19:42

An unfathomable tragedy. This may have a cultural shockwave. {nm} HurricaneKid Aug 28, 19:58

the next Black Panther movie should open with a grand funeral...Wakandan-style {nm} tealfan Aug 28, 20:47

This really stings. RIP. F*** 2020 from every obscene angle. {nm} TFeeney Aug 28, 22:10

will audiences accept a new T'challa? Rishoutfield Aug 29, 00:28

I’m sure the Black Panther franchise will continue in a couple years, but they won’t dare recast T’challa. That role is forever Boseman’s. {nm} HurricaneKid Aug 29, 06:40

nah, they'll find a new one {nm} pickle rick! Aug 29, 10:55

(though if Disney had been fully informed when CBOSE made Endgame, they could have anticipated using that to make a change) {nm} pickle rick! Aug 29, 11:08

Kevin Feige sounds unlikely to recast "“He was our T’Challa". Antibody Aug 29, 11:18

understandable but also Spidey, Batman, and Superman have been played by like 20 different actors in the past 30 years. never mind HLEDG pickle rick! Aug 29, 11:22

HLEDG is the only one to die, but he wasn't the first Joker. {nm} Antibody Aug 29, 11:26

Christopher Reeves was Superman that it took nearly 20 years for another feature film. {nm} Antibody Aug 29, 11:30

I think the best option is a female black panther Lupita Nyong’o or Leticia Wright takes over notfabio Aug 29, 06:46

Those are options. I’d also be interested in seeing Winston Duke be a central focus. {nm} HurricaneKid Aug 29, 06:57

Since they define that the powers of The Black Panther are passed down, it seems like they will pass it to another Wakandan {nm} monkeybeat Aug 29, 11:35

Very sad news - RIP joeoftexas Aug 29, 03:38

So sad. I was convinced he was destined for a life of great performances and awards. So tragic. Get on Up is very underrated {nm} numbersix_99 Aug 29, 04:21

This is shocking and tragic. Horrible news. Peace to him. {nm} goodvibe61 Aug 29, 10:29
