ATTACK THE BLOCK SEQUEL, ANYONE?

John Boyega wants to make an Attack the Block sequel…

Before becoming a Hollywood mega-star thanks to the Star Wars films, British actor John Boyega led the cast in the sci-fi film Attack the Block, his very first role in a feature film.

A teen gang in South London defend their block from an alien invasion in the 2011 movie, which has built up a sizable following of fans who have long begged for a sequel.

The ‘Star Wars’ actor is happy to reprise his role of aliens-battling Moses “if the supporters want it?”

And ‘Yes’ we do want another hoodie battling aliens masterpiece…

The 2011’s alien invasion film Attack the Block was written and directed by Joe Cornish, whose second feature, The Kid Who Would Be King, is currently screening in cinemas.

Earlier today, Boyega, who was raised in the London district of Peckham, posted a shot from Attack the Block on Instagram, which found his character Moses being pursued by a clutch of extraterrestrial monsters.

Later, in response to the blunt question “Sequel?,” Boyega responded, “if the supporters want it then I’ll have to get back to Peckham ASAP.”

Although not a huge hit on its release, Attack the Block has become a cult favorite over the past few years, in part thanks to its cast of up-and-comers, also including current Doctor Who and former Broadchurch favorite, Jodie Whittaker.

When Cornish spoke about a sequel to Attack the Block back in 2011 (with IFC), he noted that Boyega had lots of ideas rattling around in his head for the potential return of Moses.

Cornish relayed at the time, “He has this image of a bigger alien attack on London, as if the attack we saw in Attack the Block was just the [first] wave and there’s another wave of bigger creatures. And he described to me this image of Moses leading a whole army of hood kids across the Thames, next to the houses of Parliament. He had an image of Moses on a police horse. You know the police in London who have those horses they use in riots…somehow Moses has got onto one of those horses. So he’s on a horse leading this army of South London kids across the river to take on this bigger wave of aliens. So yeah it’s really fun to think of stuff like that and what we could do.”

At this time, it doesn’t appear that any sort of continuation is actually in the works, but it sure is nice to see that Boyega hasn’t left his roots behind.

Never say never, bruv!
