Talking to Vogue ahead of the BAFTA awards, Boyega revealed that he’s thrilled he can talk about what happens in The Force Awakens, after keeping secrets for so long.
“Yes, at last! Han Solo dies, OK?” he said. “He dies. Phew. It feels good. But now, we just starting work on Star Wars VIII, the next film, so I’m back to keeping secrets again.”
Boyega then said he agrees with Daisy Ridley (who plays Rey) that the script for the upcoming episode is “great.” It’s “much darker,” he said, “but we’re very excited.”
Boyega did not reveal any other details about the darker themes Star Wars: Episode VIII. He did say that his role will be a lot more physical and that he might need to go to the gym more often to prepare. That’s only good news for fans. After all, Finn seems to be badly wounded at the end of The Force Awakens.
