At this point, we really don’t know much about the next installment in the Star Wars saga. Apart from the cast and the release date, Episode IX is still very much shrouded in mystery.
But John Boyega just gave us a tiny sneak peek from the set of Episode IX. Boyega shared a photo on Instagram showing his hands after a day of shooting. Along with the photo, Boyega wrote a pretty teasing caption.
“Great working day on set,” Boyega wrote. “The whole team pushed themselves today to achieve something visually crazy! I’ve had many moments of shock on set but not like today and I can’t wait until you know why.” Boyega added the hashtag #FN2187, referring to the name of Boyega’s character in Star Wars, now known as Finn, answered to when he served as a stormtrooper in the First Order.
In the photo, Boyega’s hands look very rough and dirty, and there’s a pretty big drop of what appears to be blood on his left thumb. Let’s just hope it’s not Finn’s own blood.
John will be joined by returning co-stars Daisy Ridley, Mark Hamill, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Kelly Marie Tran and Domhnall Gleeson. Original Star Wars actor Billie Dee Williams will also return to the franchise for the first time in the sequel trilogy to reprise his role as Lando Calrissian.
Star Wars: Episode IX is due to be released on December 20, 2019.
