Good for him. Good to see the bridge hasn't been burned. Maybe in the future he can return to the role.

REYYYYYYYY! Boyega and Disney have honest conversation.
"The Marvel EIC Chair has a certain curse that goes along with it: it tends to drive people insane, and ultimately, out of the business altogether. It is the notorious last stop for many staffers, as once you've sat in The Big Chair, your pariah status is usually locked in." Christopher Priest

I hoped he mend fences so he can have a role in the MCU.

That's good that Disney reached out to mend fences with Boyega. He deserves better.

I still say he got to show more of his own range and skill in TFA than any of the new cast members got across all three films.
And I would kill to see some other big name escapist franchise give him the ball.Like action, adventure, rogues, and outlaws? Like anti-heroes, femme fatales, mysteries and thrillers?
I wrote a book with them. Outlaw’s Shadow: A Sherwood Noir. Robin Hood’s evil counterpart, Guy of Gisbourne, is the main character. Feel free to give it a look: https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asi...E2PKBNJFH76GQP

Finn was a genuinely enjoyable character in Force Awakens, but was done dirty in the next 2 films. Hopefully going forward, Boyega gets better (and more consistent) roles.

Actually Finn was done dirty in the Force Awakens as well. And he was really done dirty in the next two films. I had high hopes for him but they were dashed. Honestly I don't see how they could legitimately bring him back and make him relevant bc they tied his story so close to Rey's. Any time I see him now all I can think of is when is he gonna shout REYYYYYYY! I would love it if someone in the future did decided to create another black prominent character in this star wars realm they will learn from this whole mess and do better.

I can see where his TFA story has problems, and there are some parts of it I can’t defend. But I also still think there was something worth investing in TFA that the other films turned into a poisoned pill far beyond TFA’s issues. Originally Posted by the nomad

It’d at least be a start that would do more with the character than anyone not named Lawrence Kasdan or Greg Rucka in the last few years.Like action, adventure, rogues, and outlaws? Like anti-heroes, femme fatales, mysteries and thrillers?
