John Boyega opens up about why returning for AttackTheBlock 2 is special to him. 'I tend to not be the sequel person, like, 'I want to do a sequel!' or whatever. But with this character, I want to see him.'
With a decade gone since the original film came out, John Boyega is explaining why Attack the Block 2 is special to him. The original 2011 sci-fi horror-comedy marked Boyega's breakout turn on the big screen, which would lead to the British star getting major roles in the Star Wars sequel trilogy as Stormtrooper-turned-Resistance fighter Finn, Pacific Rim: Uprising and 24: Live Another Day.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY The cast of Attack the Block also featured future Doctor Who star Jodie Whittaker, Arrowverse actor Franz Drameh and Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg frequent collaborator Nick Frost, amongst others. The film was a critical hit, scoring acclaim for the performances of its cast, Wright's script and direction and the fast pace, though it would underperform at the box office.
There's more of them, know what I mean? But we're very excited. Joe's in the lab, cooking it up. I'm excited. I tend to not be the sequel person, like, "I want to do a sequel!" or whatever. But with this character, I want to see him. I want to see where he's at for the past few years. So, we're working now.
Boyega isn't the only one who's been curious to see more of Attack the Block's Moses and see what came of him, given the original film ended with him, Sam Esmail's Pest, Frost's Ron and Treadway's Brewis all being arrested and held responsible for the deaths of the block's residents.
While Boyega may be eager to return for Attack the Block 2, it's understandable he also expresses a feeling of being uninterested in sequels in general.
