Another beloved character from the Disney Star Wars trilogy may be returning to the big screen. During this year’s Star Wars Celebration event, it was revealed that Daisy Ridley will be reprising her role as Rey, Luke Skywalker’s former apprentice who will work to rebuild the Jedi Order.
However, new rumors suggest that Ridley may not be the only member of the cast making a comeback. According to recent reports, Finn, the former stormtrooper and close friend of Rey, may also be returning to the franchise.
John Boyega, the actor who played Finn in the previous Star Wars films, had previously stated that he was done with the franchise and had moved on with his life. However, rumors suggest that Boyega may have changed his mind.
During a recent episode of The Hot Mic podcast hosted by John Rocha, Boyega’s potential return to the franchise was discussed with Jeff Sneider. The rumor was passed that Boyega may be reprising his role as Finn in the new Star Wars movie, which was said to be confirmed by multiple independent sources.
While Boyega had previously expressed disinterest in returning to the franchise, he did mention in a 2020 interview that he did not rule out the possibility of returning if his co-star, Daisy Ridley, were also to return. This may have influenced his current decision to potentially reprise the role of Finn.
There may be more to Boyega’s change of heart than just his co-star’s potential involvement in the film. Rumors suggest that the actor may have reconciled with Kathleen Kennedy, the president of Lucasfilm, which could have also played a role in his decision to return to the franchise.
While fans eagerly await confirmation of Boyega’s return, it’s clear that the new Star Wars movie is shaping up to be a must-see for fans of the Disney trilogy.
With both Ridley and potentially Boyega reprising their roles, there’s sure to be plenty of excitement and anticipation building for this highly anticipated release.
