He just playing the wrong roles. I keep seeing him in movies and commercials trying to act all stoic and shyt. He trying to be on some Idris Elba or Denzel shyt.

But i dunno i feel he more suited to a Donald Glover type role, than that shyt.

I don't find him believable as the strong silent type, he need to embrace how goofy he is.

In OP defense, they were clearly referring to the big screen in the original post and not other forms of media viewing, which people keep mentioning.

Yea, I didn’t ask is it over for John Boyega, cause it’s clearly not. I asked is it over for John Boyega on the big screen. Like big budget Hollywood movies. Of course thats no longer needed in 2022 but it was just a general question.
And I will ask the question again, what does "big screen" mean anymore when everything outside of Superhero movies crash and burn at the box office?
Are you talking about him in big budget Disney movies?
Atleast half the competition for 2022 Oscar Best Movie will be streaming movies
John has a movie with Viola Davis that I don't think we know if its in theaters or straight to streaming but we know its going to get buzz

Big Screen means exactly what it means as movies being released in theaters :mjlol:

How the movie does box office wise is irrelevant to the discussion as actors and actresses will still their bread regardless. The only thing that it will effect is their back end profits. Let's not sit here and pretend like these trash ass movies being released on Netflix and other streaming services would make bank if they were released on the big screen.

They benefit strictly on streaming services and are easier to hide and not determine their true value and money that they bring in.

If you don't care how it does Box Office wise why does it matter?

When it comes to streaming, the money doesn't matter as you can't accurately predict how much money it made for that particular streaming service. It's exactly why if I was an actor or actress, then I'd run to the streaming service route compared to the box office as it's easier to mask the numbers.

So how are you able to determine that John is done on the "big screen" if every big A-list Hollywood actor is doing a movie for a streaming service right now? That's my question. I got movies with Leo, Denzel, Frances McDormand, Streep, Jennifer Lawrence, Viola Davis, Sandra Bullock on streaming services right now, not the big screen. Streaming movies swept the biggest Oscar categories this year. In terms of acting, whether its on the big screen or small screen doesn't matter that much anymore.

Also, Boyega is doing that Dahomey Kingdom film with Voila Davis next and he just finished a film alongside Jamie Foxx and Teyonah Parris. Just because he isn't flooding the headlines with bullshyt fukkery, doesn't mean his career is dead.

Right, he's still working but people expected him to be a headline star and face of the new generation of actors

:unimpressed: with this throw shyt against the wall thread

Like his films coming out next year he isnt starring alongside Viola Davis and Jamie Foxx. The third film he was a replacement for Majors who had to pull out because of schedule conflict with Ant Man 3

White people like to be desired, regardless of whether or not they actually date outside their race. I've seen them get triggered when a Black person said they prefer to stay with their own.
Imma be honest dogg. I see more black people getting offended when white people choose to date themselves more than I see the reverse.
this whole thread is a fallacy because Boyega is still getting work and has alot of good projects coming out.

He should be one of the actors for consideration for whenever Marvel decide to #recastT'Challa.
