Following the news of Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman’s death on Friday evening, tributes have been flowing in from every corner of Hollywood celebrating the actor’s incredible work and incomparable spirit, and grieving the loss of both. For fans and those in the industry, Boseman was a pioneer – the actor who played the MCU’s first Black lead superhero as well as some of the most important figures of the 20th Century – and for his co-stars and co-workers, he was all that, as well as a friend and source of light. As Kevin Feige, who changed his Twitter avatar to the Black Panther mask, said in a statement to CNN: “He was our T’Challa, our Black Panther, and our dear friend.”
Below, we’ve gathered up a number of tributes to Boseman from some of his MCU peers and others in the industry, and we’d encourage you to share your thoughts on this incredible loss in the comments below.
