John Boyega Doesn't Think He'll Ever Play Finn Again After 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker'
The end of the "Star Wars" saga may also be the end of John Boyega's journey in the galaxy far, far away.
At least, that's what the actor recently told MTV News when asked if he might ever play stormtrooper-turned-resistance fighter Finn again after December's "The Rise of Skywalker."
"Honestly, the bottom of my heart, I don't think that I am [going to play Finn again]," he admitted.
Boyega added, "This really is that movie. I think everyone doesn't believe it but this is that war that just ends everything."
That had better not mean Finn dies!
Of course, Boyega simply may not know about future plans for his character. Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy has said that some new trilogy characters may be seen again in future projects.
"There's no question that there's certain characters that we've created, certainly in the last three movies, that we may very well wanna see down the line in the future," she noted.
"We also have huge opportunities with Disney+ now to be able to look at that space and find perhaps even smaller stories, grittier stories."
Marvel is doing that very thing with "Avengers" spinoffs on Disney+ (including series featuring Falcon and Winter Soldier, Scarlet Witch and Vision, and Loki).
So, it's in the realm of possibility that Disney+ rolls out a Finn/Poe Dameron bromantic dramedy where they fly X-wings and dispense space justice across the galaxy. We can dream!
