John Boyega has been a force beyond the movie screen of late, lending his voice to the Black Lives Matter rallies happening in London and around the world. But he’s, of course, known for his time as Finn in the latest Star Wars trilogy, and before that a little alien invasion movie called Attack the Block, for which he and director Joe Cornish made their careers. While fans have hoped for a sequel, and it damn sure deserves one, all has been quiet on that front…until now, with Cornish giving hope that it might actually happen.
Joining the Script Apart podcast, Cornish revealed that he’s actually met with Boyega about an Attack the Block sequel, and it could all boil down to timing…
“We’ve got ideas. I met with John a couple of months ago to talk about it. We’ve always had ideas after the first one, but obviously we’ve both been busy doing different things. In a way, the longer you leave it, the more interesting it is. So that’s all I’ll say.”
What’s more, Boyega chimed in on social media and he seems pretty chill with the idea of coming back…
….think imma need the whole of London for an army on this one…… https://t.co/hGu9IL4UBJ

Attack the Block was released in 2011 and went on to become a cult favorite. Other than Boyega, the big names in the cast were Nick Frost, Jodie Whittaker, and Franz Drameh. Let’s hope Cornish and Boyega have the time in their busy schedules to make this sequel a reality.
