Actor John Boyega Says He’s Open To Playing James Bond: Let’s Show Them Something Different

British actor John Boyega, best known for playing Finn in the Star Wars films: The Force Awakens (2015), The Last Jedi (2017), and The Rise of Skywalker (2019), is ready for another popular role. In a recent interview, he said that he is open to the idea of being the next James Bond.

Black Panther star and John Boyega‘s Small Axe co-star Letitia Wright, previously suggested that he would be great for the role.

“I say Boyega because I know he would love it.”

She even said he’d be better over Daniel Craig, who has recently taken on the role.

“Daniel would do the work and stay behind – he likes to stay low key, so that’s too much [for him]. He can still play Bond too, but I know John Boyega would just… yeah.”

Although John Boyega previously felt as though he was too young to play the role, once he caught wind of Letitia Wright’s comments he said:

“Ooh! Hey, listen. [With] Steve McQueen directing? Let’s do this. We can show them something different . We [would] still bring that sophistication .James Bond has to be James Bond – but we could do something with that.”
