Lord of the Rings actor Dominic Monaghan, who appeared with Nyqvist in TV series 100 Code, also paid tribute. “It breaks my heart we’ll never get to sit together to watch this movie,” he said, saluting the “dignity and integrity and fun” Nyqvist had brought to the set. In an emotional tribute on Instagram, the Scottish actor remembered his co-star’s “incredible talent… child-like qualities… humility and warmth”.

Gerard Butler, who worked with Nyqvist on yet to be released action thriller Hunter Killer, said he was “right up there” among the people he had acted alongside. His death was announced “with deep sadness” by a family representative who said that “one of Sweden’s most respected and accomplished actors” had “passed away quietly surrounded by family”. They said Nyqvist had left a “huge void behind him”, local media report. “His charm and charisma were undeniable.” “Michael’s joy and passion were infectious to those who knew and loved him,” his family said. Nyqvist’s love of the arts was “felt by all who had the pleasure of working with him”, the family added. The Swedish actor died on Tuesday after suffering from lung cancer for a year, according to a family statement. Nyqvist played journalist Mikael Blomkvist in that film and its sequels, which formed the Millennium Trilogy.
