John Boyega stars in a scene from the movie Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Filming on Star Wars: Episode VIII will start within weeks in London, The Force Awakens actor John Boyega told fans as he surprised them after a screening of the latest film in the capital.
Peckham-born Boyega, 23, who plays ex-stormtrooper Finn alongside fellow Briton Daisy Ridley in the long-awaited film,
told the audience at Brixton's Ritzy cinema he was "so happy" to start work on the next instalment.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens is poised to smash box office records in the UK, having already set a record for a first weekend in North America.
Boyega appeared at several London cinema screenings of the film on Sunday night, including the Ritzy and the Odeon in Greenwich.
Appearing as the end credits started at the Ritzy, he told the packed audience: "It's an alright film, innit?"
