John Boyega Teases 'Star Wars: Episode VIII' With Shirtless Gym Shot

The actor, who debuted as Finn in 'The Force Awakens,' is getting ripped for the sequel.

As if we weren’t already excited for Star Wars: Episode VIII…

John Boyega already proved on The Force Awakens press tour that he's absolutely adorable, but this new Instagram shot of the 23-year-old actor in the gym getting ripped for the sequel has us saying, "Daaaamn!"

Finn himself simply captioned it, "VIII."

Boyega did not have this bangin' bod during his stock photo modeling days.

Unfortunately, we have to wait a bit longer than expected for Episode VIII, as Disney recently announced that the film's release date had been pushed back nearly six months, to Dec. 15, 2017. The movie is being written and directed by Rian Johnson (Looper).

Meanwhile, ET got some scoop on Star Wars: Episode IX from director Colin Trevorrow, who weighed in on all the fan theories about Rey (Daisy Ridley) and Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill).

"We're going to make sure that that answer is deeply and profoundly satisfying," Trevorrow explained. "Rey is a character that is important in this universe, not just in the context of The Force Awakens, but in the entire galaxy. She deserves it."
