John Boyega reveals that the next Star Wars movie will be much darker.
While the entire world is still reeling over Star Wars: The Force Awakens, behind the scenes Disney is ramping up production on the next Star Wars movie.
John Boyega, who plays the stormtrooper turned traitor Finn, spoke with British Vogue about Star Wars: Episode VII. When asked about the script, Boyega said it was” great” and “much darker” than Episode VII. He also said the next installment will be more physically exhausting for Finn.
“My part in the next film will be much more physical, so I might be in the gym a bit more,” Boyega said in the interview.
Boyega is not the only actor who has spoken highly of Rian Johnson’s latest script. Daisy Ridley, who plays Rey, told Variety that she thinks the next movie’s script is “very good”.
Star Wars: Episode VIII doesn’t hit theaters until May 26, 2017, but fans are already excited about the next movie in the Star Wars universe. Luckily for them, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story hits theaters on December 16, 2016.
