Undisclosed colon cancer, stage 3 at the time it was found, and the man played through Black Panther, Infinity War, and Endgame through all of that.

That's insane dedication to the craft and to prioritizing the joy of others over one's own. We lost an absolute talent today, even more of a talent than we knew given his dedication to the craft over cancer.

Stage 3 colon cancer at age 39. Incredibly bad luck. For those that don’t know, in the US at least, they don’t recommend you even start screening for it until 50. It’s traditionally an old man disease, but can strike anytime.

RIP

Damn, didn't even know he had cancer
