Fi Fi Fo Finn, I Smell A Role For An Englishman
Via marvelstudionews.com, Star Wars sidekick and giant robot drifter John Boyega has (apparently) met with someone/s at Marvel Studios about a possible future role in the ever-expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Oh Boyega
If I sound vague it’s because this is pretty much all anyone knows. That, and Boyega made said announcement to an audience at Awesome Con in Washington D.C.
We do know that the part is not for Blade, as the actor has repeatedly said he has no interest in the role due to overwhelming respect for Wesley Snipes, who played the part in the original trilogy. Good on you John.
At one point Boyega was rumored for the lead role in Black Panther. Well, we all know how that turned out. Fan casting has also included the role of the John Stewart incarnation of DC’s Green Lantern. And with all the love and respect for Justice League…
Whatever the part/role/movie Boyega eventually finds himself in it won’t see the light of day for some time. Star Wars: Episode 9 (The Diminishing Returns) doesn’t begin shooting until July. Just after the first batch of Kathleen Kennedy’s drone army is due out of the vats. This movie ain’t gonna write itself, folks.
Anyhoo. Any guesses as to what movie/role the actor could be in talks with at Marvel Studios? Anyone?
