It looks like we could be seeing more of Finn in the future. John Boyega has once again spoken about returning to the Star Wars Universe and he has had a change of heart. The Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker actor admitted that he is open to reprising his role as Finn and exploring the character's story in a new project.
There is little doubt that John Boyega became a household name after landing the role of Finn in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. However, fame was a double-edged sword for the Attack the Block actor who faced some backlash after the casting. Interestingly, Boyega famously stated that he was done with the franchise but a recent interview suggests he has changed his mind.
While speaking to Tech Radar, John Boyega was asked if he is interested in returning to Star Wars. The They Cloned Tyrone actor immediately referenced his previous statements about the franchise and confirmed he would like to explore Finn's story more.
"That [those comments] was a few years ago, so they were the subject of that particular project. But I'm open to all characters and scripts that are enjoyable, have a great cast attached, and a terrific director. So yeah, I'm open to all opportunities," he said.
This is great news considering that it was already confirmed that Daisy Ridley will be back as Rey in a new Star Wars project. We already know that Ridley and Boyega are good friends and there is little doubt that they are both eager to revisit their characters' backstory. With that in mind, we're hoping we'll get an update on Boyega's casting soon. Keep checking this page for updates on this story.
