John Boyega Responds To MCU Casting Rumors
Actor John Boyega responds to rumors that he would be cast in a future role within the MCU. The star has had a long career in the film industry, hitting big early on with his breakout role as Moses in the Joe Cornish science-fiction horror, Attack the Block. This helped Boyega land a lead role in the highly-anticipated Star Wars sequel trilogy as Finn (FN-2187), the former First Order stormtrooper who joins General Leia Organa and the rag-tag Resistance to fight against the powerful resurgent Empire. With his career on a never-ending rise, many have speculated if Boyega would ever join Marvel's massive cinematic shared universe.
Rumors have swirled for years regarding Boyega joining the MCU.

Recently, there have been unsubstantiated reports that Boyega has filmed an upcoming cameo in secret. However, recent comments from the actor may put a stop to his Marvel buzz.
