Star Wars and Pacific Rim: Uprising star John Boyega is helping to develop the story for the long-anticipated sequel to his 2011 alien invasion gem, Attack the Block, alongside writer and director Joe Cornish. Boyega is due to reprise his lead role as Moses and is aboard as producer.

“This process has been fantastic. The story has actually been presented by myself and Joe Cornish,” the British actor revealed in a recent interview with Collider. “We’ve collaborated heavily on making a story that makes sense for Moses and the other characters, and the new characters that will be coming up in the sequel too. And then, also, there’s different perspectives in writing it, with Joe having his perspective and me having mine.”

The actor-producer also shared some details about the sequel’s plot, stating that it will “blow the dust off” Cornish’s Attack the Block bible for a follow-up that will be “about aging the character slightly and seeing where he’s at now.”

“London has changed so much, in so many different ways, over the years since the first movie,” Boyega continued. “We’re just trying to make sure we explore all of that while bringing in a whole different vibe to that crazy ass first movie that we made.”

As for when this sequel may arrive? “We’re quite close… We have the main spine of the story, but we’re still in the lab, just making sure the story is right… But it won’t be too long. I’ve given them the drums to speed up the process. Hopefully soon, we’ll have an announcement for when we’ll be around London, messing stuff up.”
