Los Angeles, March 24 – English actor John Boyega may have just paved the way for a potential return to the "Star Wars" franchise. The actor has been in talks with Lucasfilm about his potential return to the franchise.
The 34-year-old star portrayed Finn in the sci-fi film franchise's sequel trilogy, "The Rise of Skywalker," "The Force Awakens," and "The Last Jedi," and he could be set to reprise his role in a galaxy far, far away, according to "Female First UK."
During an appearance on a panel at MEGACON Orlando, Boyega was asked about potentially reprising his role for future "Star Wars" projects.
One fan commented, "Get Dave (Filoni, Lucasfilm president) on the phone."
Boyega then dropped a major hint that he has already had conversations with Filoni, as he said, "I actually have, actually."
"Star Wars" fans don't have long to wait for the next film in the franchise. "The Mandalorian" starring Pedro Pascal, Sigourney Weaver, and Jeremy Allen White, is set to be released on May 22, 2026.
According to "Female First UK," it will be the first "Star Wars" movie since 2019's "The Rise of Skywalker." Last year, Boyega revealed how he would have made significant changes to the "Star Wars" sequels if he were to produce them himself.
According to Popverse.com, he said at Florida Supercon 2025, "If I was a producer on Star Wars from the beginning, you would have had a completely different thing. It would be insane. First of all, we're not getting rid of Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, all these people. We're not doing that. The first thing we're going to do is fulfill their story, fulfill their legacy. We're going to make a good moment of handing over the baton.”
John Boyega would have drawn inspiration from the stories in "Star Wars'" online video games, "The Old Republic" and "Force Unleashed," to expand the film franchise's universe.
