Maybe there really are no grudges that last a lifetime; at least not as far as a galaxy far, far away is concerned. This Thursday, a novel rumor arose around that the next film Star Wars with Daisy Ridley he would also see the return of John Boyega; that is, the actor who gave life to Finn in the sequel trilogy and who in recent years has been a harsh critic of multi-million dollar franchises and the way in which Disney neglected his character. However, if such information is true, it seems that the British are willing to believe in second chances.
The rumor comes from John Rocha, host of the podcast The Hot Micwhich in this Thursday’s episode – based on “reliable sources” – revealed that Boyega is in talks with Lucasfilm to rejoin the intergalactic franchise.
“I was told that Kathleen Kennedy [presidenta de Lucasfilm] and John Boyega had a conversation, they ironed out rough edges, they talked about money, and when everything smoothed out, then the negotiations began, “Rocha commented on his live program.
He also assured that his sources are reliable, because on past occasions, they have been correct in the scoops that they provide. For example, according to what he says, three titles that are part of the current list of DC Universe productions were leaked to him, before DC Studios made them publicly known in January.
On the other hand, Rocha said he was not surprised by the alleged return of John Boyega to Star WarsWell, despite his strong past statements, in recent weeks he has been more measured when recalling his experience in said franchise.
“When the language begins to soften, it is when the possibilities of returning to something open up,” said the driver of The Hot Mic. “Emotions calm down and you can negotiate.”

In previous years, John Boyega asserted that participating in a franchise of the type Star Wars it was equivalent to being locked up in “a fancy prison.” And leading up to that, he criticized Disney for not giving his character enough depth over the course of three movies.
However, last month, the actor shared with The Times (via Deadline) that, in reality, his experience in Star Wars it was “interesting” and gave her an opportunity to become the person she is today.
“For me, Star Wars He has made man, in a sense,” he declared. “The experiences, the fun times, the good, the ugly, the bad, make you who you are as you navigate the industry, and that’s definitely been interesting.”
While we wait for a confirmation on the alleged new collaboration of John Boyega and Daisy Ridley in Star Warsit should be noted that this upcoming film is directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy (ms marvel) and a script by Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders). It will be set 15 years after the events of the Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker and will be about how Rey (Ridley) tries to rebuild the Jedi Order.
