JAKARTA - Actor John Boyega is known for his Star Wars film franchise, which places himself as the main character.

Despite the success that led him to other film projects, Boyega expressed his opinion about acting in a franchise.

In a question and answer session with CinemaBlend, John Boyega said it felt like being in prison. "Joining a big franchise is sometimes like a fancy prison for actors when you want to do something else."

Furthermore, Boyega thinks that when an actor plays in the franchise, he has to work for one character for years. Even though it is not uncommon for the actor to have the desire to portray a new character.

Apart from Star Wars, the actor who was born on March 17 also starred in the Pacific Rim: Uprising franchise. But because the benefits of the film Pacific Rim are not very satisfying, it seems that there is no continuation of the story.

Boyega has also moved on from the Star Wars franchise. This he said when uploading a photo while shooting on his Instagram account.

Because of this, recently, John Boyega has started trying out various roles, one of which is the anthology of Steve McQueen's film, Small Ax, which has received positive reviews.

Besides Small Ax, Boyega is also preparing for Naked Singularity and They Cloned Tyrone.
