Star Wars boss Kathleen Kennedy.Following comments the actor made earlier this year in regards to the marginalisation of non-white characters across the sequel trilogy, the pair discussed a way forward.Boyega had said in September that he felt non-white characters had been “pushed to the side” in The Last Jedi and the Force Awakens, placing focus on Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver whose characters were given “all the nuance”.Giving an update to the BBC today, per Deadline, the actor said: “So I got on a phone call with Kathleen Kennedy [Lucasfilm President] and she verbally showed support and we got to have a really nice, transparent, honest conversation that is beneficial to both of us.”He continued: “I think these kinds of conversations, you

John Boyega had a heart-to-heart with Lucasfilm chief Kathleen Kennedy after he went public with his frustrations with his role in the Star Wars franchise.John’s portrayal of ex-Stormtrooper Finn was key to reboot installment Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but became less central to the plot of its two follow-ups – and he went public with his disappointment in a GQ interview this summer (2020).He had previously revealed that he had buried the hatchet with Disney chiefs, but has now detailed how Kathleen offered him support once he had outlined his case to her.“So I got on a phone call with Kathleen Kennedy and she verbally showed support and we got to have a really nice, transparent, honest conversation that is beneficial to both of us,” he

For years, if an actor spoke up about being upset with how a film turned out and openly blamed the studio and/or filmmakers for the issue, that person would be dubbed “difficult” or perhaps even blacklisted. But in the case of John Boyega, and his very public criticisms of his recent “Star Wars” trilogy, the actor’s outcry about how Disney and Lucasfilm treated Black and other POC characters have apparently started a discussion that could be beneficial for everyone involved.

Andreas Wiseman International EditorJohn Boyega has said that he had a “transparent, honest” phone call with Star Wars producer Kathleen Kennedy after expressing his view that the franchise marginalizes non-white characters.In a candid GQ interview two months ago Boyega expressed frustration that non-white characters are “pushed to the side” in the sequels to The Force Awakens, saying that Disney gave “all the nuance” to Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley’s characters.Speaking to the BBC today ahead of the release of Steve McQueen’s Small Axe film Red White And Blue, Boyega was asked how the land lies with Star Wars producers after the comments.

John Boyega made headlines earlier this year with a powerful Black Lives Matter speech back in June, where he addressed concerns that speaking out may affect his career. Months later, the actor says he’s even more fixated on fighting to secure working environments “as good as possible for everyone.” READ MORE: John Boyega Says Studios Need To Protect POC Actors From Online Abuse: “They Can’t Get Boyega-ed” In a new interview with Indiewire to promote his role in the third installment of Steve McQueen‘s “Small Axe” anthology, “Red, White and Blue,” Boyega looked back on his Black Lives Matter speech from earlier this summer, and whether that could alter his career.

John Boyega's castmates had his back after he spoke out in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. ET's Kevin Frazier spoke to the 28-year-old actor, who revealed that Daisy Ridley and Oscar Isaac were among the co-stars to express their «full support» of him following his impassioned speech at a London protest.«I am really close to my castmates, specifically Oscar and Daisy,» he said.

It feels like we’ve been talking about who might become the next James Bond for years now. Partially, that’s because Daniel Craig made it very clear that he was done with the franchise after the upcoming film, “No Time to Die.” And then there’s the fact that “No Time to Die” has been delayed numerous times.

John Boyega wants to tackle a James Bond film with Steve McQueen behind the camera.Letitia Wright suggested the Star Wars actor, who like her appears in one of McQueen’s Little Axe movies, would be perfect as 007 in a new interview – and he likes the idea.“Ooh! Hey listen, Steve McQueen directing, let’s do this!” John said. “We could show them something different.

No Time To Die.And like most British actors in the 25 to 35 age range, the Star Wars actor has been asked whether he'd be keen on the part.Speaking to MTV, he said: “Hey listen, [with] Steve McQueen directing, let’s do this.

John Boyega is the latest celebrity to throw his hat in the ring to be the next James Bond.With Daniel Craig’s final outing as 007 scheduled for release in April next year, stars are lining up to be the next actor to assume the iconic role.During an interview with MTV News, the actor opened up about what he could bring to the table as the legendary spy.When asked whether the part was something that Boyega saw for himself in the future, he replied: “Hey listen, [with] Steve McQueen directing, let’s do this. We could show them something different.”The 28-year-old continued: “We’ll still bring that sophistication – you know, James Bond has to be James Bond.

James Bond.It comes after the Star Wars actor was touted to take over the role from Daniel Craig by Small Axe co-star Letitia Wright in a new interview.Asked whether Boyega or her Black Panther co-star Daniel Kaluuya would make a better 007, Wright told MTV News: “I say Boyega because I know he would love it, you know?“Daniel is the ‘do the work and stay behind.’ You know, he likes to stay low key. So that’s too much.

John Boyega is up for becoming the new 007.
