Joey Russ 7,220 Posted August 29, 2020 For those who don’t know, Boseman was a major star and definitely seemed like he had a bright future ahead of him. Truly is shocking.

MrWonderful 481 Posted August 29, 2020 Just a stunning loss. He did look very gaunt recently, but I was hoping it was just for a movie role or something. Obviously, that was not the case. He was genuinely a major talent, and I wouldn't be shocked if he wins a posthumous Oscar for his work in Da 5 Bloods. He brought such a great presence as T'Challa in Black Panther, and he captured the gravitas of important historical figures like Jackie Robinson in 42, James Brown in Get On Up, and Thurgood Marshall in Marshall. Gone way too soon. Damn, this sucks. RIP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

markb4 892 Posted August 29, 2020 Super shocked and saddened by this one! Looks like he kept his cancer diagnosis private similar to David Bowie and Alan Rickman. Gonna miss him! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CoffinLodger 1,248 Posted August 29, 2020 This is so tragic esp coming during the whole Black Lives Matters thing. I guess that's Black Panther 2 down the drain then ... Many people will wake up shocked and devastated by this news. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I even saw his name come up on Wiki Recent Deaths, shrugged and then came here. It's only whilst here that I realise a bit more who he was and what he achieved. Seems like a real talent cut down in his prime. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Youth in Asia 1,086 Posted August 29, 2020 His face looks familiar, but the name doesn't ring a bell. Having seen someone close to me go a similar way, it is a very sad thing to happen and best wishes to his family and fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,519 Posted August 29, 2020 There was that Instagram video a few months back where he looked really ill but most people just assumed he'd lost weight for a movie role. Reading between the lines in this article I wonder if there were rumours already going around the entertainment press. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gonna miss him! Supposedly Rickman's pancreatic cancer was very sudden - he was still active a couple of months before he died. Not much point in telling people in that scenario. In many ways this is even sadder than Bowie and Rickman given his age. RIP 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dying Probably 578 Posted August 29, 2020 Good god. 2020 has been cruel, hasn't it? He was only 42 and had a long acting career ahead of him. R.I.P. to a legend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
