John Boyega has been in talks with Lucasfilm about a potential Star Wars return.
The 34-year-old star portrayed Finn in the sci-fi film franchise's sequel trilogy - The Rise of Skywalker, The Force Awakens, and The Last Jedi - and he could be set to resume his part in a galaxy not so far away.
During an appearance on a panel at MEGACON Orlando, Boyega was asked about potentially reprising his role for future Star Wars projects.
One fan then shouted: "Get Dave [Filoni, Lucasfilm president] on the phone."
Boyega then dropped a huge hint that he's already had conversations with Filoni, by replying: "I actually have, actually."
Star Wars fans don't have long to wait for the next film in the franchise.
The Mandalorian + Grogu - starring Pedro Pascal, Sigourney Weaver and Jeremy Allen White - is to drop on May 22, 2026.
It will be the first Star Wars movie since 2019's The Rise of Skywalker.
Last year, Boyega told how he would've made big changes to the Star Wars sequels if he produced them himself.
According to Popverse.com, he said at Florida Supercon 2025: "If I was a producer on Star Wars from the beginning, you would have had a whole completely different thing. It would be mad.
"First of all, we’re not getting rid of Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, all these people. We're not doing that.
"The first thing we're going to do is fulfil their story, fulfil their legacy.
"We're going to make a good moment of handing on the baton."
Boyega would have looked at the stories from Star Wars' online video games, The Old Republic and Force Unleashed, to expand the film franchise's universe.
He said: "I'd look to the Old Republic stories.
"And see what we can add to the continuation of that. I would definitely want to see Force Unleashed stories in there.
"I would try to expand the Star Wars universe as much as possible while respecting the lore.
"If we're expanding the lore, we have to do it in within the respective boundaries that stay true."
In 2020, Boyega said he felt "pushed to the side" in the film franchise.
He told British GQ magazine: "It’s so difficult to manoeuvre.
"You get yourself involved in projects and you’re not necessarily going to like everything.
"[But] what I would say to Disney is do not bring out a black character, market them to be much more important in the franchise than they are and then have them pushed to the side. It’s not good. I’ll say it straight up."
However, three years later, Boyega told TechRadar he was "open to all opportunities" when it comes to Star Wars.
