RIP. Had no idea he even had cancer, and there were questions about his weight loss. Horrible, horrible day in entertainment.

Jesus. Had no clue he was unwell. That’s absolutely terrible.

Damn that is a real shock, had no idea he was sick.

His career was taking off these last few years too, and he was battling with cancer the entire time.

RIP Chadwick

That's shocking. I was just checking to see what was trending on twitter, and thought it was one of those hoax trends, took awhile to realise it wasn't...
Pretty unbelievable knowing he lived with it for 4 years. RIP

2020 continues to outdo it's fecking self. RIP king.

There's no discounting all that he's done throughout his career, but I think his performance as Black Panther is what he'll be remembered for the most. Giving millions of children the chance to see a superhero on the big screen that looks like them, that is immortal.

He’d lost a lot of weight recently and people were worried but clearly no one knew he had cancer. Really sad. RIP

That’s really, really sad. fecking hell, rest in peace Chadwick. I genuinely couldn’t believe it when I heard. Absolutely loved him as the Black Panther, at the very least he’s immortalised in one of the biggest franchises ever.

Yeah, I remember seeing that picture and thought it was for a role. Had no clue at all. RIP

Just when you think 2020 couldn't possibly get any more 2020 it's gets even more quintessential 2020. What an utter bummer of a year, and we still have 4 months to go. RIP good sir.

Such a shame. Apparently he'd been battling it for 4 years.

Absolutely devastating. Feel awful for his family right now. 43 is so very young.

Shit, so sad to hear it, cannot believe it.

Didn't even know that he had cancer, and it seemed that he did all Marvel movies while fighting cancer.

Man this is terrible news.
I woke up to this just now!
So so sad to see him gone, really loved some of the inspiring movies he made!
Going to miss seeing his face and looking forward to what would almost always be amazing acting from him! :(

Damn he must have been strong, working while fighting cancer and playing iconic roles. Big loss for film (and those close to him, of course). RIP

Absolutely shocked by this news. What a spirit to be fighting this during the most prolific time of his career.
43 is no age. Gutted


2020 can do one.

He actually died on Jackie Robinson day, which is who 42 the movie was about. Makes it all the more crazy.

The first black superhero for most kids, who also played a real-life black superhero in Jackie Robinson.

The complete shock about this makes it one of the celebrity deaths that have hit me hardest. What a warrior to have battled this while conquering the world of movies. So sad.

As has already been said. 2020 can kindly feck off now.

Rest in peace after what sounds like an unbelievable feat of strength these last 4 years.

Absolutely tragic, testament to the man that he powered through that awful disease for 4 years and was still top of his game.
