We have just recently gotten an image of what looks to be John Boyega's hair for Star Wars Episode IX, but what we haven't gotten a good look of is how beefed up his body got for the role. Episode IX starts filming today, and this is a photo of Boyega in the gym (via @sleemo on Twitter):
Boyega also shared this video of himself training, but I can't seem to find it on Instagram:
Though the timeline between The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi was rather short, it looks like there will be a significant time jump in Episode IX. After all, we need time for the new Resistance to grow after the First Order basically numbered them down to a handful of people. Plus, it would be interesting to see how the galaxy fares with Kylo Ren as the Supreme Leader.
Going back to Finn, I really hope he gets a satisfying end to his arc in Episode IX. From a defecting stormtrooper to a hero of the Resistance, he's really grown into a character that everyone in the fanbase has come to love.
Catch Boyega in Star Wars Episode IX when it comes out Dec. 20, 2019.
