The fandom is strong with this one! Recent social media posts from John Boyega have the internet convinced of the actor’s return to the Star Wars universe.
Even though it’s been unanimously agreed that Disney misused John Boyega as Finn in their most recent Star Wars trilogy, there’s been a strong desire to see the actor return to the world of nerd culture in one way or another. Be that through the Marvel, DC, or even Sony Spider-Man villain universe, fans can’t seem to get enough of the rogue Stormtrooper.
While there hasn’t been any official word about John Boyega making his return to Star Wars or any taping for a role in any other stereotypically nerdy franchises, speculation has mounted about the actor gearing up for a role after a slew of social media posts detailing his fitness transformation. Boyega now has a physique far surpassing what he ever had as Finn, making many wonder what project might have sparked this desire.

Could John Boyega Return To The Star Wars Universe?
Many might write off that this new physique could mean anything regarding Finn’s return to the galaxy far, far away given John Boyega’s vocal distaste for his time in the Star Wars universe. However, his tune has changed in recent months, admitting that he’d be open to any character given that the cast, crew and script were great. This, combined with early rumors of his return to Daisy Ridley’s Rey project, could paint positive rumblings in the force.
Of course, there’s always the chance that John Boyega could have landed a role outside of Star Wars. Some fans hoped that the Finn actor could play another character considered chronically misused by Disney: Kang the Conqueror. However, Boyega has openly said that he isn’t interested in taking up the role from Jonathan Majors, leaving any other potential role in Marvel or DC up to pure speculation.
