John Boyega on Star Wars Return: ‘VII to IX was good for me’

In an interview with SiriusXM’s “Tell Me Everything With John Fugelsang.”, John Boyega shares he doesn’t have much of an interest in returning to Star Wars to reprise the role of Finn, stating “at this point I’m cool off it. I’m good off it”.

John Boyega became an international breakout star playing Finn in the “Star Wars” sequel trilogy. But the actor, who stars in upcoming films “Breaking” and “The Woman King,” doesn’t have much of an interest in returning to the galactic franchise.

“At this point I’m cool off it. I’m good off it,” Boyega said on SiriusXM’s “Tell Me Everything With John Fugelsang.” “I think Finn is at a good confirmation point where you can just enjoy him in other things, the games, the animation. But I feel like ‘[Episode] VII’ to ‘[Episode] IX’ was good for me.”

Boyega added: “To be fair, [with] the allies that I’ve found within Joel Taylor and Jamie Foxx, Teyonah Parris, Viola Davis, all these people I’ve been working with… versatility is my path.”
