Daisy Ridley urges John Boyega to return for new Star Wars sequel

According to Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley, she would fully support John Boyega’s return as Finn in the upcoming Star Wars film.

Daisy Ridley will be making a comeback to the Star Wars universe in an upcoming film. She will once again portray the character of Rey in the sequel, which takes place 15 years after the events of Rise of Skywalker.

Although details about the film’s plot are scarce, it can be revealed that Rey’s mission will be to revive the Jedi Order in the aftermath of Ben Solo’s demise and Palpatine’s ultimate defeat (for the second time).

During a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Ridley was questioned about the possibility of any of her former co-stars from the previous trilogy making an appearance in the upcoming film.

Daisy Ridley will be back as Rey for a brand-new Star Wars film.

Despite being hesitant to answer, the actor did reveal her desire for John Boyega to reprise his role as Finn in the upcoming film.

“Without a doubt, certainly,”Ridley started. “It seems like the right thing to do, yes.”

In the past, Boyega has been vocal about his disappointment with the development of his character Finn in the Star Wars trilogy. In a 2022 interview, Boyega expressed that he was ready to move on from playing Finn.

“At this time, I am content with moving on. I am satisfied with moving on. I believe Finn has reached a point where he can be appreciated in other aspects, such as the games and animation. However, I still feel that [Episode] VII to [Episode] IX were enjoyable for me.”

Despite his initial reluctance, the actor’s more recent comments in 2023 suggest that he may now be more willing to consider returning to the franchise.

Boyega expressed his willingness to consider any character and script that is enjoyable, features a talented cast, and is directed by an exceptional director. He affirmed his openness to all opportunities.

Although there are no definite plans, it will be intriguing to see if any of Ridley’s previous co-stars will return to the Star Wars franchise for the upcoming project.
