Johns Boyega Doesn’t Want To Play These Two Super Heroes

Seems John Boyega is a Marvel fanboy at heart.

The actor who stars in the new Disney Star Wars movies and the upcoming Pacific Rim Rising film is asked about potentially playing a comic book superhero.

Screen Rant mentions two characters to John Boyega, which he scoffs at with mention of Green Lantern (which he really doesn’t want to play) and Blade.

“I mean, yeah! I mean, that wouldn’t be a problem. I just don’t know who,” Boyega replied to questioning about joining one of the big comic book cinematic universes.

However, when asked about Green Lantern, Boyega wasn’t as enthusiastic.

“They’re doing a Green Lantern? (Negatively groans) Sss.. Hmmm…..Eghhh…. (Laughs),” Boyega replied.

And regarding Blade, John Boyega doesn’t want to replace Wesley Snipes.

“That’s Wesley for Blade. I would want to see Wesley,” Boyega said.

So, any comic book recommendations for John Boyega?
