Max Von Sydow has passed away on 8 March 2020 at the age of 90 at his home in Provence, France.

A film icon, versatile actor, Max Von Sydow was part of many sci-fi movies now cult classics. Flash Gordon, Conan the Barbarian, Strange Brew, Dune, The Minority Report, and The Exorcist to name just a few. Some may also remember him as the voice of Vigo the Carpathian, in Ghost Busters II.

I will always remember him as Ming the Merciless.

R.I.P.

    Old fart here. Sorry, I can barely remember von Sydow's Ming the Merciless when stacked up against Charles Middleton. But for everything else, all the way to the Three-Eyed Raven (even including his valiant effort to save Dune), RIP.

    And now his watch is done.
