RIP Black Panther

Well this just blows....

Don't tend to keep up with celeb news much so didn't even know he was sick. Such a talented actor and class act all around. We didn't get to enjoy his talents nearly enough. Loved him as Vontae Mack, Thurgood Marshall and The Black Panther, but the role I will always remember him for is playing the incomparable Jackie Robinson in 42. It was always going to require an especially talented actor to convey Robinson's unique and otherworldly ability to compete at the highest level while exercising inhuman restraint against all the bile directed his way. Boseman was more than equal to the task. It is not especially difficult to convey emotion when leaping across screens dueling bad guys, blowing up quarterbacks as a pass rusher or railing in front of juries as a lawyer, but to be able to quietly convey the inner struggle of a man who wants deeply to lash out against the injustice and indecency of an unfair system but fights to constrain himself for the sake of the greater cause of changing that system requires an even greater level of talent. If you haven't seen 42, you need to.

Robinson was a great american, and Boseman did him proud in telling his story. 

Celebrating his life and contributions today, mourning the loss of the man and the stories he might yet have helped tell.

Sad. Great young actor.

I wonder what will happen to the BP franchise?

they've probably known about this possibility for a few years. 

there's a lot of options within the actual canon of the story. Also they're comic books. They can just say that Michael B Anderson was brought back to life too and he's learned the error of his ways.

Hopefully they will find someone to fill those shoes. Perhaps one of the male actors on this list:

Or some as yet unknown talent waiting to be discovered.  Either way there is clearly demand for more BP films and overall Marvel did a great job with it, so the hope is they could continue the success with another talent. Won't be the same but can still be great. As they say in showbiz "The show must go on."
