Alan Rickman sadly passed away on Thursday (January 14) after battling cancer, and fans have been left devastated.

The 69-year-old actor kept quite busy in the years leading up to his sudden death, and it may be bittersweet for fans to see his final two films, both of which will hit theaters before the summer.

The first film that will be released is titled Eye in the Sky, which also stars Helen Mirren, Aaron Paul, and Barkhad Abdi.

The film is about a military officer who is in command of a drone operation to capture terrorists in Kenya. She sees her mission escalate from “capture” to “kill” just as a nine-year old girl enters the kill zone. It will hit theaters on March 11, 2016.

Alan‘s last film to be released will be Alice Through the Looking Glass, which will be released on May 27, 2016. The film will follow Alice as she travels back to Wonderland to save the Mad Hatter. Alan will be reprising his role as the Blue Caterpillar.

Emma Thompson just wrote a very touching tribute to her friend and frequent collaborator Alan Rickman, who passed away on Thursday (January 14) at the age of 69 from cancer.

“Alan was my friend and so this is hard to write because I have just kissed him goodbye. What I remember most in this moment of painful leave-taking is his humour, intelligence, wisdom and kindness. His capacity to fell you with a look or lift you with a word. The intransigence which made him the great artist he was – his ineffable and cynical wit, the clarity with which he saw most things, including me, and the fact that he never spared me the view,” the 56-year-old actress said in a statement to Just Jared.

“I learned a lot from him. He was the finest of actors and directors. I couldn’t wait to see what he was going to do with his face next. I consider myself hugely privileged to have worked with him so many times and to have been directed by him. He was the ultimate ally. In life, art and politics. I trusted him absolutely. He was, above all things, a rare and unique human being and we shall not see his like again,” Emma concluded.

Emma and Alan worked together on several films including Sense and Sensibility, The Song of Lunch, The Winter Guest, Judas Kiss, the Harry Potter franchise, and Love Actually.

Rupert Grint has released a statement regarding the death of his former co-star Alan Rickman.

The 27-year-old actor starred alongside the late British actor, 69, in all eight Harry Potter films.

“I am devastated to hear about the passing of Alan Rickman, I feel so privileged to have had the opportunity to work with him on numerous occasions – Even though he has gone – I will always hear his voice,” Rupert told JustJared.com. “My thoughts are with his friends and family at this time.”

The 25-year-old actress wrote of Alan, “I’m very sad to hear about Alan today. I feel so lucky to have worked and spent time with such a special man and actor. I’ll really miss our conversations. RIP Alan. We love you.”

Alan played the role of Severus Snape in all of the Harry Potter films. Emma also starred in the films as Hermoine Granger.

Our continued thoughts are with Alan‘s friends and loved ones during this time.

Daniel Radcliffe has taken to his official Google Plus page to mourn the death of his Harry Potter co-star Alan Rickman.

“Alan Rickman is undoubtedly one of the greatest actors I will ever work with. He is also, one of the loyalest and most supportive people I’ve ever met in the film industry. He was so encouraging of me both on set and in the years post-Potter. I’m pretty sure he came and saw everything I ever did on stage both in London and New York. He didn’t have to do that. I know other people who’ve been friends with him for much much longer than I have and they all say ‘if you call Alan, it doesn’t matter where in the world he is or how busy he is with what he’s doing, he’ll get back to you within a day,’” the 26-year-old actor wrote.

“People create perceptions of actors based on the parts they played so it might surprise some people to learn that contrary to some of the sterner(or downright scary) characters he played, Alan was extremely kind, generous, self-deprecating and funny. And certain things obviously became even funnier when delivered in his unmistakable double-bass,” Daniel continued.

Alan, who died from cancer at age 69, starred as Severus Snape in all of the Harry Potter movies.
