Black Panther-hovedrollen Chadwick Boseman er død, 43 år gammel

Han vil altid blive husket som manden, der spillede titelrollen i en af filmhistoriens mest hyldede og vigtigste superheltefilm.

Chadwick Boseman, selveste Black Panther, er i går afgået ved døden blot 43 år gammel. Dette oplyser hans familie.

Kampen mod tarmkræft endte ifølge hans pressesekretær i skuespillerens eget Los Angeles-hjem i selskab med hans nærmeste.

Boseman fik diagnosen i 2016 og indspillede film som 'Da 5 Bloods', mens han modtog behandling. Udover 'Black Panther' medvirkede Boseman i baseball-filmen '42' samt i Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War og Endgame.

Den triste nyhed betyder nu, at han ikke kan vende tilbage som Kong T'challa i den ellers ventede Marvel-film Black Panther 2, der var planlagt til at udkomme maj 2022.

Flere af Bosemans kolleger har delt deres reaktioner på den triste nyhed. Deriblandt Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Taika Waititi, Tom Holland og Jeffrey Wright.

I’m absolutely devastated. This is beyond heartbreaking.

Chadwick was special. A true original. He was a deeply committed and constantly curious artist. He had so much amazing work still left to create. I’m endlessly grateful for our friendship. Rest in power, King pic.twitter.com/oBERXlw66Z

This man was diagnosed in 2016 and yet all of this powerful work!! I'm vibrating between immense joy for him and such sadness. But the sadness takes over. Condolences to his loved ones. He lives in the mythic. Incredible.

Chadwick, you were even more of a hero off screen than on. A role model not only to me on set, but to millions of others around the world. You brought joy and happiness to so many and I’m proud to have been able to call you a friend. RIP Chadwick
