John Boyega’s 3 Situations For Star Wars Return: Film, Script, & Co-Stars

John Boyega has three circumstances for returning to the Star Wars franchise. Boyega performed Finn within the Star Wars sequel trilogy films. He has spoken concerning the racism he skilled from sure corners of the fandom, together with artistic decisions for his character that he disagreed with, significantly in The Final Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker.

With Rey (Daisy Ridley) returning in an upcoming Star Wars film set 15 years after The Rise of Skywalker, there was hypothesis about whether or not Boyega might reprise the function of Finn as effectively. Extra not too long ago, information of the scrapped Hunt for Ben Solo film has led to fan campaigns to revive the challenge, and extra hypothesis about the way forward for sequel trilogy-era characters.

At Liverpool Comedian Con (by way of Collider), Boyega now reveals that he can be open to a Star Wars return below three circumstances. The primary is that it must be a film, because the bromance between Finn and Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) “ought to solely be on the massive display.” The second is that Poe and Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo) should be in it, and the third is that there should be “a terrific script.” Try Boyega’s feedback beneath:

Me and Oscar are very cussed, and we consider the bromance ought to solely be on the massive display.

It must be a film and clearly a terrific script. And I already spoke to Joonas at present and stated, “Joonas, you should be part of Poe and Finn on their journey.” So if I get these combos, who is aware of.

As for whether or not Boyega is in Rey’s “New Jedi Order” film, he makes it clear that he does not know something concerning the challenge, however as “the Tom Holland of Star Wars”, he would be the first to offer an replace. Holland, who performs Spider-Man/Peter Parker within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is notorious for by chance revealing spoilers early.

Belief me, I’m just like the Tom Holland of Star Wars. As soon as I do know one thing I’ll let .

Each Boyega and Isaac have beforehand criticized how Finn and Poe’s relationship was dealt with. Boyega appears to consider {that a} new story with Finn and Poe might repair that, however solely as a film, and never as a Star Wars present on Disney+. With Lucasfilm now prioritizing films over live-action exhibits, this situation has a greater probability of being met than it could have been a number of years in the past.

It is unconfirmed when Chewbacca will seem subsequent in live-action Star Wars, however Boyega would love for Finn and Poe to reunite with the beloved Wookiee. Chewbacca spends ample time with Finn and Poe at numerous factors within the sequel trilogy, and a brand new film can proceed constructing on his friendships with them.

As for Finn being within the “New Jedi Order” film, it’s attainable that he’s concealing his involvement with the challenge, though the movie has already modified writers a number of occasions, so there may be simply pretty much as good of an opportunity that he’s being truthful about not understanding something but. Between his shut friendship with Rey and being confirmed to be Pressure-sensitive in The Rise of Skywalker, “New Jedi Order” is a logical place for Finn to return.

Since Shawn Levy’s Starfighter set within the years after The Rise of Skywalker, Finn might technically return there as effectively, though it has been described as a extra standalone story regardless of its placement within the Star Wars canon timeline. The principle forged has already been introduced, so if Finn had been to seem, it could seemingly be as a cameo or in a smaller supporting function.

Whereas Finn has but to return to live-action storytelling, the character has appeared in a number of Star Wars tales since The Rise of Skywalker‘s launch in 2019. Omar Benson Miller voiced Finn in The LEGO Star Wars Vacation Particular and LEGO Star Wars Summer season Trip. Finn can be a primary character in The Final Order novel by Kwame Mbalia, which was printed on October 21, 2025.
