"You will always be our King": Die Marvel Studios huldigen dem verstorbenen Chadwick Boseman

von Sebastian Groß

Am Freitag verstarb der US-amerikanische Darsteller Chadwick Bosman im Alter von nur 43 Jahren an Darmkrebs (wir berichteten). Da seine Krebserkrankung der Öffentlichkeit nicht bekannt war, war diese Meldung ein großer Schock. Vor allem mit dem Marvel-Blockbuster Black Panther machte der Schauspieler sich einen Namen.

Die Marvel-Figur des T'Challa, der König von Wakanda, machte ihn zum Superstar und zum Teil der Marvel-Gemeinschaft Die Marvel-Studios haben nun ein Tribute-Video online gestellt, mit dem sie sich von Boseman verabschieden und seine darstellerische Leistung würdigen, aber auch seine Persönlichkeit. Außerdem kommen Freunde von Kollegen von ihm zu Wort, allerdings stammen diese Statements aus dem Archiv. Das emotionale Video haben wir euch unten eingefügt, genau wie einige Twitter- und Instagram-Reaktionen von Bosemans MCU-Gefährten. Black Panther-Regisseur würdigte seinen Star mit einem offen Brief, den ihr hier lesen könnt.

So wichtig und förderlich Black Panther, der in den USA mehr einspielte als Avengers: Infinity War, für die Karriere von Boseman auch war, der Schauspieler bewies bereits früher, was für ein Talent er ist. Vor allem mit seinen Darstellungen afroamerikanischer Idole wie Jackie Robinson in 42 oder Soul-Legende James Brown in Get on Up, zeigte Boseman herausragende Performances.

Ruhe in Frieden.

I’m absolutely devastated. This is beyond heartbreaking.

Chadwick was special. A true original. He was a deeply committed and constantly curious artist. He had so much amazing work still left to create. I’m endlessly grateful for our friendship. Rest in power, King💙 pic.twitter.com/oBERXlw66Z

It was the highest honor getting to work with you and getting to know you. What a generous and sincere human being. You believed in the sacred nature of the work and gave your all. Much love to your family. And much love from all of us left here.

Chadwick was someone who radiated power and peace. Who stood for so much more than himself. Who took the time to really see how you were doing and gave words of encouragement when you felt unsure. I’m honored to have the memories I have. The conversations, the laughter. My heart is with you and your family. You will be missed and never forgotten. Rest in power and peace my friend.

Chadwick, you were even more of a hero off screen than on. A role model not only to me on set, but to millions of others around the world. You brought joy and happiness to so many and I’m proud to have been able to call you a friend. RIP Chadwick

“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

Rest in Power King T’Challa. My heart is so heavy right now. Your passing has hit me hard. I will tell my sons about you forever. You were one of the classiest men I have ever met in my life. It was an honor to have shared minutes with you on screen and to have crossed paths with you during press. Though our acquaintance was light you always left a lasting impression because of your energy, poise and gentle manner. May the Universe deliver you to your promise land brother. ~ Que en paz y en poder logres descansar finalmente. Con lo poco que estuviste aquí, dejaste un legado increíble!!!
