John Boyega, known for portraying Finn in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, has indicated openness to reuniting on screen with Oscar Isaac, who played Poe Dameron, but only under specific conditions. The topic surfaced as the John Boyega Star Wars reunion remains a point of interest among fans, especially in light of mixed signals from both Boyega and Isaac about their willingness to return.
Boyega’s Vision for a Theatrical Finn and Poe Reunion
Speaking at the recent Liverpool Comic Con, John Boyega discussed the potential for reprising his role as Finn in a future Star Wars project. Boyega made it clear that any reunion with Oscar Isaac, as Poe Dameron, should be realized on the big screen, not through a streaming series or similar format.
“Me and Oscar are very stubborn and we believe the bromance should only be on the big screen,”
Boyega said, emphasizing the unique dynamic between their characters. He stressed that he envisions Finn and Poe’s story continuing only if it is told in a cinematic format.
In addition to focusing on the leading duo, Boyega expressed interest in bringing back Joonas Suotamo, who played Chewbacca in several Star Wars films. He said,
“It has to be a movie and obviously a great script. And I already spoke to Joonas today and said Joonas, you must join Poe and Finn on their adventure. So if I get those combinations, who knows.”
Boyega’s remarks hinted at the cast chemistry he values should a new project emerge.
Oscar Isaac’s Hesitation over Working with Disney
While Boyega’s comments fueled fan excitement, Oscar Isaac’s stance remains more uncertain. Isaac recently indicated a willingness to revisit Star Wars or even Marvel roles in the future. However, he set clear conditions tied to Disney’s ongoing corporate decisions, particularly following Disney’s suspension of Jimmy Kimmel after controversial comments aired on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
“Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney,”
Isaac explained, signaling his frustration with the company’s actions. He further elaborated,
“But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great.”
Isaac also reflected on a past interview where he had flippantly remarked that he would return as Poe only if he “needed another house.” Addressing the quote, he said,
“Yeah. That was a real likable quote. Jesus Christ… I said a slightly dickish thing.”
The actor’s candid remarks reveal both his conflicted feelings and the importance he places on the integrity of future projects with Disney.
Outlook for a Big-Screen Return
The possibility of a John Boyega Star Wars reunion with Oscar Isaac continues to captivate long-time fans, particularly those invested in Finn and Poe’s friendship and their roles in “The Force Awakens,” “The Last Jedi,” and “The Rise of Skywalker.” While Boyega’s enthusiastic vision centers on a movie that also features Joonas Suotamo’s Chewbacca, Isaac’s participation seems contingent on changes within Disney and more acceptable conditions for collaboration. With their combined star power and the continued popularity of their characters, audiences remain hopeful that Lucasfilm and Disney may one day reunite this iconic crew for another spacefaring adventure.
John Boyega says he’d love to see Finn and Poe return, but only in a movie.
