Rest In Power, My King. Wakanda Forever.

R.I.P Chadwick Boseman, aka The Black Panther

In what is certainly become a very very sad way to end the last weekend of August 2020, the world got the devastating news that actor Chadwick Boseman - best known for portraying King T'Challa/ Black Panther in the Marvel Cinematic Universe - succumbed to his battle against colon cancer at the age of 43. It was sudden as it was depressing - Boseman battled the disease privately and no one knew he was suffering from it until the very end. :(

Here is the official statement from Chadwick Boseman's Facebook page:

It's definitely a sad time and a terrible year for all, and I even had to pay tribute in a video and post dedicated to this talented actor gone too soon. What the future of Black Panther be in the MCU remains to be seen... But now we mourn the loss of a king.

Rest well Chadwick. Thank you and "Wakanda Forever". :(

Black Panther nominated for "Best Picture" by The Academy!

There's more reason for fans of T'Challa and Wakanda to shout "Wakanda Forever" - as The Academy released their official nominations for the 2019 Oscars (which you can check out on Facebook) - and Black Panther has been nominated for "Best Picture" - making it THE FIRST superhero film AND the first African-American led superhero film to hold that honor! Big congratulations are in order to director Ryan Coogler, star Chadwick Boseman and the rest of the cast, and Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and the rest of the team that brought the Marvel Cinematic Universe to life for this!

Good luck "Black Panther" on the 91st Academy Awards!
