However, the two often collide with another which leads to fans speculating where the actor could go next. During his outpouring support to the Black Lives Matter movement, Boyega had attended a protest in London where he stated that he might lose his career for speaking out against white supremacy, but in return, a number of prominent directors came in to complement the young star for his stance and offered him film roles.

His appearance in the protest was photoshopped by Boss Logic to make it look like the actor is donning the avatar of DC's Green Lantern, which started off a trend of fans urging to DC to cast the actor for the iconic role. Now, when fans were suggesting where Boyega could fit in the DC film universe, he took part in the conversation and shared his thoughts about their suggestion over Twitter. Check it out below -
