John Boyega has made peace with the role that previously caused him anguish that he made public, but now says “made a man of him.” The star of JJ Abrams ’s Star Wars reboot previously called out Disney for its treatment of his character Finn, stormtrooper turned resistance fighter. He said in 2020 of Finn’s spotlight in The Force Awakens followed by his diminished role over the course of the franchise: “What I would say to Disney is, ‘Do not bring out a black character, market them to be much more important to the franchise than they are and then have them pushed to the side. It’s not good.’ ” Three years later, he is more sanguine, telling The Times of London: “For me Star Wars has made the man, in a sense… The experiences, the fun times, good times, ugly times, bad times, it makes you who you are as you navigate through the industry, and that has definitely been interesting.” Regarding the finale, which saw Finn reunited with his Star Wars … [Read more...] about John Boyega Finally “Comfortable” With Treatment Of Star Wars Character, Two Years After Disney Call-Out

There’s a reason they call him The Darkling. Ben Barnes ‘ General Kirigan is on a downward spiral in Season 2 of Netflix ‘s Shadow and Bone as he seeks to expand The Fold and reign over Ravka. While in Season 1, the then-leader of Ravka’s Grisha army was a respected and charismatic Shadow Summoner, Kirigan has done away with the facade for Season 2. After surviving a Volcra attack that led everyone to believe he’d died, Kirigan has returned — very much alive and with a literal shadow army at his disposal that he’s using to stoke enough fear in the remainder of the Grisha army that they will help him defeat Alina Starkov (Jessie Mei Li), who has set out to find the supposedly mythical creatures that can amplify her powers enough to destroy The Fold. “[Kirigan] was always on the wrong side. He’s always the villain. But in this season, it’s unleashed a little bit and he doesn’t have an army to rely on.
