Il protagonista di Black Panther Chadwick Boseman muore a 43 anni
Chadwick Boseman noto per aver interpretato il personaggio di T’Challa / Black Panther nel Marvel Cinematic Universe ci ha lasciati a 43 anni. Il suo pubblicista Nicki Fioravante ha rivelato in un comunicato che l’attore è morto nella sua casa nell’area di Los Angeles, al fianco della moglie e della sua famiglia.
Sul suo account ufficiale Twitter, la sua famiglia ha condiviso il seguente messaggio:
“È con immenso dolore che confermiamo la scomparsa di Chadwick Boseman. A Chadwick è stato diagnosticato un cancro al colon al 3° stadio nel 2016, e lo ha combattuto in questi ultimi 4 anni mentre progrediva al 4° stadio.
Un vero combattente, Chadwick ha perseverato in tutto questo e vi ha portato molti dei film che avete imparato ad amare così tanto. Da Marshall a Da 5 Bloods, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom di August Wilson e molti altri, tutti sono stati girati durante e tra innumerevoli interventi chirurgici e chemioterapia. È stato l’onore della sua carriera dare vita a Re T’Challa in Black Panther”.

Le reazioni
Kevin Feige, presidente dei Marvel Studios, ha dichiarato:
“La morte di Chadwick è assolutamente devastante. Era il nostro T’Challa, la nostra Pantera Nera e il nostro caro amico. Ogni volta che ha messo piede sul set, ha irradiato carisma e gioia, e ogni volta che è apparso sullo schermo ha creato qualcosa di veramente indelebile.
Ha incarnato molte persone straordinarie nel suo lavoro e nessuno era più bravo nel dare vita a dei grandi uomini. Era intelligente, gentile, potente e forte come ogni persona che interpretava. Ora prende il suo posto accanto a loro come un’icona per i posteri.
La famiglia dei Marvel Studios è profondamente addolorata per la sua perdita e stasera siamo in lutto con la sua famiglia.”
