Per THR:

Michael Nyqvist, who starred as Mikael Blomkvist in the original Swedish The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo movie thrillers, with Noomi Rapace, died Tuesday after battling lung cancer, his family said. He was 56.

"Michael's joy and passion were infectious to those who knew and loved him. His charm and charisma were undeniable, and his love for the arts was felt by all who had the pleasure of working with him," a family statement read.

Rest in peace.

That's a damn shame. He was really good in the Millennium Trilogy movies. Was hoping to see him in more English speaking rolls after Wick.

 

[Sane_Man]

This really sucks.

Also holy crap I never put it together that he was both the original Dragon Tattoo reporter AND Viggo in John Wick.

[Fancyarcher]

Good actor, just a few days ago I was talking to people about him and his villain roles, so this is unfortunate. RIP

[mr jones]

Holy shit 56 is young, man. Fuck cancer.

RIP

 

[HStallion]

Damn didn't even realize he was sick and John Wick wasn't that long ago. Cancer is a fucking shitty thing. RIP

 

[CaviarMeths]

Fantastic actor, loved his work in both his Swedish and American films.

56 is just way too young. My thoughts are with his family.

 

[Busty]

I had no idea he was even sick. I always enjoyed his work and it's horrible to think that he was taken when all his best work was potentially in front of him.

RIP.

 

[ezekial45]

Damn, that's my dad's age.

He was great in John Wick. Sorry to see him go so young.

 

[Psychoward]

Damn that's awful, only knew him from John Wick but he was amazing in that.

 

[strafer]

He has two movies in Post and one that is currently filming called Kursk (2018).

I wonder why he gets to play so many Russian roles.

Like Peter Stormare and Dolph Lundgren.
