We lost a generational actor. I don't fukk with Marvel and only saw about 5 minutes of Black Panther but Chadwick's other performances were great. Perhaps more importantly, he was going to carry that torch from Denzel. Even if he didn't continue being a big time leading actor, he was clearly gonna help finance more black men and women to learn the craft. We sometimes have Coli threads complaining about British actors getting American roles over American actors but....it's because they go to elite acting schools, they act in theaters etc. It's not just black Americans taking Ls. Spiderman is played by a British guy. End of the day the better man is going to win in those auditions, and when it's between a classically trained Brit and an American acting school drop out (or former child actor) the Brits will win 80% of the time.

His performance in James Brown was my favorite

This is such a moronic comment. So because he stutters he's not due any respect or grace? He's also shown how talented he is as a director and shows there's even more to come from him.
Yea.

He actually doesnt stutter as much as he use to. Imagine have to run a film set and be in control. Kinda makes what he's accomplished more impressive.
