Some Twitter users were duped into thinking that John Boyega randomly accepted a marriage proposal via Twitter.

During an impassioned speech on racial justice after the death of George Floyd, Star Wars star John Boyega said, "Look, I don't know if I'm going to have a career after this, but fuck that." The remark gave public voice to the private tension all Black entertainers confront as they try to balance their commitment to causes that may help fans who look like them without sacrificing the careers that allow them to reach fans in the first place.

Before he was one of the faces of “Star Wars”, John Boyega was a streetwise youth in Joe Cornish’s sci-fi hit “Attack The Block”.

Released in 2011, Joe Cornish’s sci-fi film, “Attack the Block,” stands as one of the best films in the genre of the past decade. Carried largely by an incredible lead performance from a then-unknown John Boyega, ‘Attack’ is a rare original film that garnered a cult following and has yet to spark any real sequel talk.

Attack the Block 2 have begun.Cornish teased the news on the Script Apart podcast, confirming he had been in talks with Boyega, who starred in the 2011 film, about a potential sequel.“We’ve got ideas,” Cornish explained regarding a sequel. “I met with John a couple of months ago to talk about it.“We’ve always had ideas after the first one.
