As a film enthusiast with years of immersing myself in the rich tapestry of cinema, I find the recent developments surrounding John Boyega intriguing. The man who brought Finn to life in the Star Wars universe has been working tirelessly at the gym, fueling speculation about his next big role. While he’s made it clear that superhero roles aren’t exactly up his alley, one can’t help but wonder if Marvel Studios has a trick or two up its sleeve.
British actor John Boyega, famously recognized for his groundbreaking role as Finn in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, has set tongues wagging following multiple Instagram posts indicating he’s been putting in some serious workout hours. While Boyega has earlier voiced his reluctance to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) as a superhero or villain, fans are now speculating that they might see him in an upcoming Marvel film, given the strenuous training sessions they’ve observed.
Over the last few days, Boyega has shared multiple workout photos on Instagram, suggesting he’s been hitting the gym hard. With his previous criticisms towards the Star Wars franchise, it’s doubtful that he’s gearing up for another film. Instead, fans speculate whether this intense training could be hinting at a possible role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Previously, Boyega made it clear that he doesn’t want a superhero role. In 2021, speculation about Boyega possibly joining the cast of “The Marvels” was put to rest when he spoke with Men’s Health. During this interview, Boyega confirmed that he had no intention of being part of the MCU at that moment, stating, “That’s not part of my current plans.
I’m interested in offering my skills to unique, innovative independent films, which showcase fresh concepts.
Ever since then, I’ve been captivated by John Boyega’s versatile performances, particularly in groundbreaking productions like Abi Damaris Corbin’s gripping thriller-drama “Breaking” and Gina Prince-Bythewood’s immersive historical action-adventure “The Woman King.” These roles have certainly piqued my curiosity about the potential resurrection of the much-anticipated sequel to “Attack the Block.” Director Joe Cornish hinted at “Attack the Block 2” as far back as 2023, but since then, there’s been an eerie silence regarding the project. Given Boyega’s intense training regimen, I can’t help but feel that things might finally be moving in the right direction for this long-awaited sequel. All we can do now is sit tight and see if our patience will be rewarded.
Boyega Is Unlikely to Return to the Star Wars Universe
It’s highly improbable that John Boyega is preparing for another Star Wars movie, given his public expressions of discontent with the treatment of his character Finn during the sequel trilogy. Since 2019, when the saga concluded, Boyega has openly discussed feeling marginalized in the films alongside other characters of color. In an interview with British GQ, he expressed his feelings about his experience on the set.
Just as you knew how to handle Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver in the Star Wars films, you knew how to use other actors effectively. However, when it came to Kelly Marie Tran and John Boyega, it seemed like you didn’t know what to do with them. So, what should I say? They want me to say something like, “I had a great time being part of it.” But I’ll only say that if it was truly a fantastic experience. I won’t just say it for the sake of it.
It makes sense that Daisy Ridley, who played Rey in Star Wars, wants John Boyega back. After all, he might be eager to move on from his Star Wars days. If Boyega is joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), we can only cross our fingers that it will be a more satisfying journey for him.
