Since the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, fans have speculated that Finn will eventually develop a romantic relationship with Rey (or Poe Dameron), but actor John Boyega just shed light on Finn's relationship with Daisy Ridley's Rey, downplaying the possibility of romance between the two in Star Wars: Episode VIII.
"I mean, we didn't establish a romance in seven; we never played it that way," the Finn actor told Variety. "Daisy and I, we're friends."
When asked if there's no relationship between Finn and Rey, Boyega said, "Yes, Finn and Rey – they're just friends," saying that "Finn is a Stormtrooper, so he doesn't really know what's going on."

However, Boyega did talk about how romance will be handled in Episode VIII, saying it will unfold in a way that Star Wars fans probably won't expect. "So the romance thing is something that's going to be interesting in the next installment," he said. "It's not going to go the way you think it's going to go."
Back in February, Boyega said that a romance between Finn and Poe could happen. Is that what he's referring to?
Rian Johnson is directing Star Wars: Episode VIII, which is set to release in theaters on December 15, 2017.
