Director Taika Waititi tweeted: “Devastating news. We lost a great one. Takoto mai rā e Āriki. #chadwickboseman,” Jordan Peele added, “This is a crushing blow,” and Kevin Smith wrote, “I met Chadwick the day Stan put his hand and footprints into the Chinese Theater Forecourt. He was nice and a little nervous, but very regal — like T’challa. And so talented. This is heartbreaking. 43 is too young to die. My heart goes out to his family and fellow fans tonight.”
Sharon Stone wrote: “Chadwick Boseman; it is unimaginable to me as a mom, that you are gone. Our family sends our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to yours. Godspeed.”
