RIP

I’m devastated. From his performances, I would have never known he was struggling with this while filming. What an incredible artist gone too soon.

 

[Oracle Spockanort]

I've been crying for the better part of the hour now. It's hard to think of how such a kind and loving person is just gone. For four years he delivered fantastic film after fantastic film while battling cancer and I can't even begin to imagine what it took for him to get out of bed every day.

 

[Elysium]

I heard the news half an hour ago. Very shocking. He was so talented, as both BP and in Marshall. I was looking forward to the sequel, since I expected it would be even better than the first. So sad. Rest in peace.

I’m so heartbroken. Chadwick was an amazing actor. RIP

How terrible.

I remember a few years back when he was among a bunch of MCU actors appearing on a late night talk show to promote I think Infinity War. Out of all of them he was the one who the most stunned silent by the uproarious crowd loudly screaming for minutes on end, as if the full weight of his rise to megastardom had finally hit. This has my strongest memory of him: a man who remained humble despite achieving greatness.

I was so shocked when I heard this. He was taken from us too soon at such a young age. Though I haven't seen all his movies I absolutely loved his performance in the MCU's Black Panther, Civil War, and the last two Avengers movies. As a person of color, it was amazing to watch him in Black Panther and see a black superhero in a African setting. RIP Chadwick Boseman

This is terrible news. He seemed like such a strong and young force in his movies. I actually didn't know he was 43, nor that he was battling cancer during his run as T'Challa. My condolences to the family.

RIP Chadwick. This year of 2020 really sucks. Wakanda Forever!

According to TheDisInsider.com, certain characters from Big Hero 6 will make their debut on the MCU. No mention on whether it will be the Disney movie or their Marvel Comics counterpart (my money is on the later).

 

[AdrianXXII]

Huh that's curious, they haven't really done anything with the characters in the conics, so I almost feel like it'd make more sense for them to be more inspired by the Movie and TV show. My guess they could appear as part of the multiverse.

We have another Marvel Studios classic with Shang-Chi, it looks incredible!

Marvel's The Marvels. Wow.

Also my heart nearly stopped when NWH showed up only for no footage to be shown aaaaaaaa

 

[Alpha Baymax]

Eternals is going to be the best Marvel Studios feature film ever.

Can I be honest?

Eternals is being extremely overhyped due to how everyone seems to be praising it to hell and back despite it not even being out yet and with zero footage before today.

 

[Absent]

I cannot with the nerve of Disney allowing this the day before May the Fourth.

I disagree.

It has an incredibly talented and diverse cast. It’s the first MCU film directed by a Academy Award Beat Picture winner, who is also the first Asian woman to direct an MCU film. It utilizes more real world locations as opposed to green screens. It will explore the history of the MCU that we haven’t seen before. It’ll have the most significant LGBTQ+ representation in an MCU film to date. It’s a relative unknown group of superheroes, which gives them a lot of creative flexibility like they had with Guardians of the Galaxy.

There’s a lot reasons for people to be excited about it even without footage. To me, it seems like it’s being overlooked more than anything, especially with the hype surrounding No Way Home, Dr Strange, etc.
