Star Wars actor John Boyega is set to follow up his latest adventure in the galaxy far, far away with the legal drama A Naked Singularity, which is being produced by Ridley Scott’s Scott Free Productions.

Based on Segio De La Pava’s debut novel and directed by Chase Palmer, one of the co-writers on It, the film will see Boyega playing a New York public defender whose life begins to unravel after he loses his first case.

Boyega will next be seen reprising his role as Finn in December 2019’s Star Wars: Episode IX, while he also lends his voice to the BBC’s animated Watership Down adaptation, which airs this Christmas.
