John Boyega Reportedly in Talks With Lucasfilm to Return as Finn

The report points to a wider reset of big-screen plans under new chief Dave Filoni.

Overview

  • Entertainment outlets, citing Friday's report from insider Daniel Richtman, said Boyega met with Lucasfilm to discuss returning as Finn.
  • Lucasfilm has not announced a movie or series tied to the talks, and no project has been confirmed.
  • Boyega recently told fans at MEGACON Orlando that he had contacted Dave Filoni, which helped spark fresh return buzz.
  • Dave Filoni now oversees the film strategy after Kathleen Kennedy's exit, and he is weighing which shelved or delayed projects move ahead.
  • A Rey-focused film announced in 2023 has cycled through writers without a start date, prompting speculation that post–Episode IX stories could revisit Finn, though that remains unconfirmed.
