Wtf, Chadwick Boseman dies after four-year battle with colon cancer

I was really hoping it’s not real, but AP confirms…so depressing. He was so good to watch.

Multiple news services running this also.

Damn.

Terrible. Was it public that he had cancer? I don’t remember seeing anything about that.

I was just reading stories about his working on a new TV series.

GodDAMN it’s been a year. His exasperation with people during his public appearances is explained fully to me now.

Oh man, that really sucks. I had no idea he was sick.

2020 is the year that keeps on blowing chunks.

He kept it secret.

I’m blown away.

Yeah, reading a bit more about it. So he filmed all the Marvel stuff (and some others), and did all the press tours and appearances, all while going through chemo and surgeries? Good lord.

I had no idea he was ill. What a terrible shame - and at only 43! He was a great Jackie Robinson and Black Panther, among other roles. May he rest in peace.

What the fuck!? I’m speechless.

I don’t know much of his work besides Black Panther, but I thought he did a nice job with the role and he seemed like a nice guy in interviews. Goddammit. Fuck 2020. This is the year of neverending suck.

Nah, he was diagnosed four years ago, so this belongs to 2016.

Agree to disagree.

Black Panther was one character that I really wanted to see portrayed on film and he did a great job. I was hoping for his tenure to be as long as that of other avengers. This is really shocking and sad.

Ironically, Bozeman, who played Jackie Robinson in 2013’s 42, died on Jackie Robinson Day.

Wow, what terrible news. What a loss. RIP.

RIP Chadwick, you did really good.

It’s an enormous shock, in part, of course, because he was to all external appearances healthy as hell. He was filming Marvel movies while he was sick, and told no one outside his family.

43 years old. Way, way, way too young.

What a terrible shock. Damn, he was so talented.

2020 sucks and I hate this.

RIP Chadwick. Cancer sucks.

Very surprising. Shocking that he had been secretly under treatment all throughout the time he was becoming famous.

Above someone mentioned his behavior in interviews. Is there any more info on this?
