De afgelopen dagen besteedden we al flink wat aandacht aan het overlijden van Chadwick Boseman. Hieronder lees en zie je hoe een groot deel van de cast van Black Panther afscheid van hem neemt met mooie woorden op Instagram en Twitter.

Met name het bericht van acteur Michael B. Jordan valt op. Hij kwam wat later met zijn reactie en de reden hiervoor is dat hij grote bewondering had voor Boseman. Na zijn mooie woorden sluit hij de tekst af met zin van zijn Black Panther-personage Erik Killmonger. "'Is this your king!? Yes . he . is! Rest In Power Brother."

I've been trying to find the words, but nothing comes close to how I feel. I've been reflecting on every moment, every conversation, every laugh, every disagreement, every hug...everything. I wish we had more time. One of the last times we spoke, you said we were forever linked , and now the truth of that means more to me than ever. Since nearly the beginning of my career, starting with All My Children when I was 16 years old you paved the way for me. You showed me how to be better, honor purpose, and create legacy. And whether you've known it or not...I've been watching, learning and constantly motivated by your greatness. I wish we had more time. Everything you've given the world ... the legends and heroes that you've shown us we are ... will live on forever. But the thing that hurts the most is that I now understand how much of a legend and hero YOU are. Through it all, you never lost sight of what you loved most. You cared about your family , your friends, your craft, your spirit. You cared about the kids, the community, our culture and humanity. You cared about me. You are my big brother, but I never fully got a chance to tell you, or to truly give you your flowers while you were here. I wish we had more time. I'm more aware now than ever that time is short with people we love and admire. I'm gonna miss your honesty, your generosity, your sense of humor, and incredible gifts. I'll miss the gift of sharing space with you in scenes. I'm dedicating the rest of my days to live the way you did. With grace, courage, and no regrets. "Is this your king!?" Yes . he . is! Rest In Power Brother.

En hieronder vind je nog meer online berichten van acteurs die te zien zijn in Black Panther. Uiteraard is onduidelijk hoe het personage van Boseman wordt voortgezet, of niet. En waarschijnlijk zal Marvel Studios hierover voorlopig ook weinig loslaten, met respect voor Boseman en iedereen die hem hoog heeft zitten.

"It was meant to be for Chadwick and me to be connected, for us to be family. But what many don't know is our story began long before his historic turn as Black Panther. During the premiere party for Black Panther, Chadwick reminded me of something. He whispered that when I received my honorary degree from Howard University, his alma mater, he was the student assigned to escort me that day. And here we were, years later as friends and colleagues, enjoying the most glorious night ever! We'd spent weeks prepping, working, sitting next to each other every morning in makeup chairs, preparing for the day together as mother and son. I am honored that we enjoyed that full circle experience. This young man's dedication was awe-inspiring, his smile contagious, his talent unreal. So I pay tribute to a beautiful spirit, a consummate artist, a soulful brother..."thou aren't not dead but flown afar...". All you possessed, Chadwick, you freely gave. Rest now, sweet prince." #WakandaForever

Today is beyond devastating to comprehend. Just shock and pain...I was in awe of Chadwick, as an actor, in his commitment to the work and as a human. I looked up to him. The way he carried himself, how thoughtful and mindful he was, how generous...he elevated everyone around him. None of it makes sense to me. There was so much more coming from this man. It's such a loss. Such a shame.
