Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are honoring Marvel Studios’ art director Ray Chan following his death at age 56.
The costars shared their “devastated” reactions to the loss of Chan, whom they worked with on Deadpool & Wolverine, in posts on April 26, after the 56-year-old art director and production designer’s death was announced earlier this week.
Marvel Studios confirmed Chan’s death in a statement on April 24. The late filmmaker was credited for helping “imagine and design the Marvel Cinematic Universe” after joining the studio on Thor: Dark World (2013). Chan was reported to have died on Tuesday in Wales where he resided, per Variety.
“RIP Ray Chan,” Reynolds, 47, began in a tribute statement on X (formerly Twitter) following the news, “Words are pretty inadequate in comparison to this loss.”
