Black Panther Co-Stars, Director Mourn Chadwick Boseman

The death of actor Chadwick Boseman from cancer has shocked not just the film industry but the entire world. Boseman was a man and an artist in the prime of his life and career, the star of one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's most significant films and biggest creative and commercial successes ... and now he's gone. Those who worked with Boseman, including the community of the MCU, have been sharing their condolences and thoughts on his death on social media. Marvel Studios saluted Boseman, promising: "Your legacy will live on forever." Marvel Studios President and Chief Creative Officer Kevin Feige, who produced Black Panther, issued the following statement to IGN via Disney: "Chadwick’s passing is absolutely devastating. He was our T’Challa, our Black Panther, and our dear friend. Each time he stepped on set, he radiated charisma and joy, and each time he appeared on screen, he created something truly indelible. He embodied a lot of amazing people in his work, and nobody was better at bringing great men to life. He was as smart and kind and powerful and strong as any person he portrayed. Now he takes his place alongside them as an icon for the ages. The Marvel Studios family deeply mourns his loss, and we are grieving tonight with his family." Marvel Studios co-president Louis D'Esposito and Walt Disney Company Executive Chairman each tweeted: Joe and Anthony Russo, who introduced Boseman as Black Panther to the world in Captain America: The Winter Soldier and later directed him in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, posted this statement to social media: Black Panther director Ryan Coogler posted this lengthy, loving statement saluting Chadwick Boseman, saying in part: "I haven’t grieved a loss this acute before. I spent the last year preparing, imagining and writing words for him to say [in Black Panther 2], that we weren’t destined to see. It leaves me broken knowing that I won’t be able to watch another close-up of him in the monitor again or walk up to him and ask for another take." Tributes have also come in from Black Panther's Michael B. Jordon (Killmonger), Danai Gurira (Okoye), Winston Duke (M'Baku), Angela Bassett (Ramonda), Sterling K. Brown (N'Jobu), and Andy Serkis (Klaw):

I’ve been trying to find the words, but nothing comes close to how I feel. I’ve been reflecting on every moment, every conversation, every laugh, every disagreement, every hug…everything. I wish we had more time. One of the last times we spoke, you said we were forever linked , and now the truth of that means more to me than ever. Since nearly the beginning of my career, starting with All My Children when I was 16 years old you paved the way for me. You showed me how to be better, honor purpose, and create legacy. And whether you’ve known it or not…I’ve been watching, learning and constantly motivated by your greatness. I wish we had more time. Everything you’ve given the world … the legends and heroes that you’ve shown us we are … will live on forever. But the thing that hurts the most is that I now understand how much of a legend and hero YOU are. Through it all, you never lost sight of what you loved most. You cared about your family , your friends, your craft, your spirit. You cared about the kids, the community, our culture and humanity. You cared about me. You are my big brother, but I never fully got a chance to tell you, or to truly give you your flowers while you were here. I wish we had more time. I'm more aware now than ever that time is short with people we love and admire. I’m gonna miss your honesty, your generosity, your sense of humor, and incredible gifts. I’ll miss the gift of sharing space with you in scenes. I’m dedicating the rest of my days to live the way you did. With grace, courage, and no regrets. “Is this your king!?” Yes . he . is! Rest In Power Brother.

“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

How do I start to honor a man who I saw as a giant in many ways; with whom I thought I had so much more time...I am absolutely devastated by the loss of my friend and hero, Chadwick Boseman... I feel sick ... I’m in pain and I can’t belive he’s gone. Chadwick was a lightning rod for me... he gave me direction... when I saw “42”, I said, I could be like THIS guy. I knew I belonged because I could see myself in you... that’s what heroes do... they seem familiar because they make it possible for us to see our potential best selves demonstrated through them... Through seeing Chad’s work, I was able to say, “I could be just like you one day“ and when I saw you in person for the first time... at my audition for Black Panther, you acknowledged me and my dream by saying, “he’s ready”! Man, your words that day made me feel like my dream was finally real! Chadwick then proceeded to show us collectively everyday on set what it was to be a leading man. Not only through his work but by how he welcomed and created a space for all of us to feel safe, open and bold ... You even worked with me 1 on 1, on our scenes, so that we could get it right, well before the day of the filming ....Chadwick, Thank you! Chadwick, you are the best...you are me and I’m you and we are all one! Thanks for being someone I could look up to on and off screen ... your calm confidence was inspiring and exemplary. Thanks for sharing with me... you go ahead ...you did your job and did it well! You will NEVER be forgotten. Your heroism is now legend. We’ll carry the load and honor your legacy, the rest of the way! Bless King! #chadwickboseman #wakandaforever

Today is beyond devastating to comprehend. Just shock and pain...I was in awe of Chadwick, as an actor, in his commitment to the work and as a human. I looked up to him. The way he carried himself, how thoughtful and mindful he was, how generous...he elevated everyone around him. None of it makes sense to me. There was so much more coming from this man. It’s such a loss. Such a shame.

Boseman's Avengers co-star Scarlett Johansson released the following statement on his passing: “Chadwick was not only a deeply soulful and powerful actor, but he was such a kind, thoughtful, funny and gentle person. He brightened every ones [sic] day every time he walked into our hair and makeup trailer or on set with his beautiful smile.” Actor Josh Gad, who co-starred with Boseman in the film Marshall, posted this teary-eyed tribute to his late friend:

Black Panther Star Chadwick Boseman Has Died

Chadwick Boseman, the star of Black Panther in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has died at the age of 43. Boseman's family confirmed his death, first reported by AP, with a message:
"It is with immeasurable grief that we confirm the passing of Chadwick Boseman. Chadwick was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in 2016, and battled with it these last 4 years as it progressed to stage IV. "A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you many of the films you have come to love so much. From Marshall to Da 5 Bloods, August Wilson's Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, and several more, all were filmed during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy.

As mentioned in the note by Boseman's family, the actor had starred in a number of productions throughout his life, playing real-life figures Jackie Robinson in 42, James Brown in Get on Up, and Thurgood Marshall in Marshall. He is perhaps most well-known for his role as T'Challa/Black Panther, a role he took on in Captain America: Civil War, Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame, and would have again in the upcoming Black Panther 2, which was previously planned for a 2022 release. Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, based on the play by August Wilson, has yet to be released.

Snake Eyes Has Been Delayed to 2021

Paramount has updated its movie release schedule including a delay to Snake Eyes and announce an official release date for Scream 5. Paramount announced in a press release Friday that G.I. Joe spinoff Snake Eyes, which was originally slated to hit theaters this year on Oct. 23, has been pushed back to October 22, 2021. The movie will center around the character, as portrayed by Henry Golding, training to become a member of the Arashikage Clan. Scream 5 has also received a release date and it will be coming to theaters January 14, 2022. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-delayed-movie-due-to-coronavirus-so-far&captions=true"] Scream 5 is coming by way of a team up between Paramount Pictures and Spyglass Media Group. The film will be helmed by Ready or Not directorial team Matthew Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett and will see franchise favorites like Courteney Cox and David Arquette reprise their respective roles. The company also announced that an untitled Lee Daniels Billie Holiday film is set for release on February 12, 2021, and that the Clifford the Big Red Dog movie originally set to release on Nov. 13 will now hit theaters on November 5, 2021. Paramount has also pushed back an untitled Paranormal Activity movie to March 4, 2022. It was originally set to release on March 19 of next year. Beyond delays, the company has removed an untitled Paramount-Hasbro event film from schedule. This movie was supposed to release in October next year but it seems that movie will no longer be released. It's unclear if this is a full cancellation of the film or if it was removed because the company has not yet decided on a release date. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/13/how-coronavirus-delays-are-impacting-2020-movies-ign-now"] Paramount is not alone in shifting its release schedule amidst the global COVID-19 pandemic. Disney did the same earlier this week, pushing The King's Man back five months into 2021. Perhaps Paramount might shift to a digital distribution format for some of its upcoming movies like Universal Pictures did earlier this year with Trolls World Tour and The Invisible Man. Here are some ways to help, and stay safe, during the Coronavirus pandemic. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Wesley LeBlanc is a freelance news writer and guide maker for IGN.

Haunted Mansion Movie Reportedly in the Works at Disney from Ghostbusters Remake Writer

The Haunted Mansion movie may be in the works with one of the writers of the Ghostbusters remake reportedly attached on the script. The Hollywood Reporter reports writer Katie Dippold is currently working on a new live-action Haunted Mansion movie. The film production company Rideback, which recently worked with Disney on their Aladdin remake, is also said to be working on the Haunted Mansion adaptation. Dippold was a writer for MadTV and Parks and Recreation before she teamed up with filmmaker Paul Feig to write the Sandra Bullock comedy The Heat and the Ghostbusters remake. Her most recent writing credit is on the Amy Schumer comedy Snatched. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-upcoming-disney-live-action-remake&captions=true"] Guillermo del Toro has been attempting to make a Haunted Mansion movie with Disney for years. He made a surprise appearance during Disney's Tron panel at the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con to officially announce his plans to make a movie adaptation of the ride, but, in August 2019, del Toro said that his interest in the project has waned. "I’m not sure I would shoot [The Haunted Mansion] right now," del Toro said to Moviefone in August 2019. "My gauging of interest is moot but I would love to see a Haunted Mansion movie by someone who loves it." Watch an interview with del Toro from 2010 where he talks about The Haunted Mansion.

It ended up with over $150 million at the worldwide box office, which isn't as big as the $650 million worldwide box office of the first Pirates of the Caribbean, but not as bad as the $18 million gross of The Country Bears. Disney continues to turn its theme park rides into movies with an adaptation of Jungle Cruise coming to theaters in July 2021. Up next for Disney is a remake of Mulan, which is receiving an interesting release plan on Disney+.

New Mutants Co-Creator Bob McLeod Slams Movie’s Whitewashing, Misspelling His Name

The New Mutants co-creator Bob McLeod has taken to Facebook to slam the movie's whitewashing and misspelling of his name. The New Mutants is a group of mutant superheroes in the Marvel Comics universe that debuted in a 1982 comic of the same name. It was written by Chris Claremont and drawn by Bob McLeod. The artist drew each of the characters in his own vision and he's apparently not too happy with the film's depiction of those characters. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=x-men-movie-continuity-errors&captions=true"] "I was very excited when I heard they were making a New Mutants movie," McLeod said in a Facebook post made on Aug. 28. "I thought making it into a horror movie was perhaps an interesting idea, but not at all how the characters should be introduced to the public at large. But, hey, my characters in a movie! I never would have thought that would actually happen. But then, I was disappointed that they didn't give Dani braids, although I like Blu Hunt." McLeod continued and said he was disappointed that Rahne, who is played by Maisie Williams in the movie, wasn't a redhead with spiky hair, and that Sam, played by Charlie Heaton, wasn't tall and gawky. McLeod then brings attention to what he deemed "yet another example of Hollywood white-washing." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2017/10/13/the-new-mutants-official-trailer"] "But mainly I was very disappointed that Roberto isn't short and dark-skinned," McLeod said. "There's just no excuse. So basically, #JoshBoone erased everything that I contributed to the way the characters look." To add fuel to the fire, McLeod's name was misspelled in the credits of the movie as it credited someone named "Bob Macleod" as the creator. This is obviously a typo on the film's part but this is arguably something that should have been caught by at least one person in the movie making process. "They couldn't even be bothered to check the spelling of my name sometime in the last three years. And that can't be fixed. That will be on the movie forever. I think I'm done with this movie." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/28/the-new-mutants-smile-clip"] All of this marks another hitch in the movie's tumultuous history in getting off the ground and into theaters. The movie was originally slated to hit theaters on April 13, 2018 but it was pushed to February 22, 2019. Then, it was delayed again to August 2, 2019, and then once more to April 3, 2020. Its final release date was announced earlier this year and it seems Disney is intent on the movie hitting theaters that day. These delays started as production-related before COVID-19 caused even more. It seems the movie will do well in theaters if its Thursday night previews are any indication. If you're looking for some New Mutants action away from the movie screen, check out the 7 best New Mutants comics worth binging and then check out one of the movie's latest trailers released during the official ComicCon@Home panel with director Josh Boone. IGN serves a global audience, so we will be covering films that may be available theatrically in some countries but not others due to local COVID-19 restrictions. Read more on IGN's policy on movie reviews in light of COVID-19 here. IGN strongly encourages anyone considering going to a movie theater during the COVID-19 pandemic to check their local public health and safety guidelines before buying a ticket.
