John Boyega
The new Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Tom Holland, once auditioned for the role of Finn in the Star Wars movies. In an interview with Backstage Magazine, he shared his audition horror stories. He admitted to reading the wrong lines at a previous audition but eventually made it through the process. Despite his missteps, he’s now the hottest actor in Hollywood.
The actor said he had a failed audition for a role in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” The film was a comedy about a stormtrooper who decides to defect to the side of the Jedi. He was about the same age as Tom Holland when he auditioned. He says that he couldn’t maintain his composure while reading a line and had a giggle fit.
Daisy Ridley
The young actress had a hard time getting work after being cast in The Force Awakens. She continued to get small television roles, but was barely making enough money to pay her rent. At one point, she was considering giving up acting altogether. That all changed when she heard that Lucasfilm was casting for a role in the next Star Wars movie. She knew she needed to take the role in order to make a name for herself.
As a young actress, Daisy Ridley had never been on the big screen before, but she had auditioned for several films and TV shows before landing the role of Rey in the fourth Star Wars movie. Tom Holland, who had already cast Ridley in the original movie, suggested that the young actress try her hand at a smaller role. The role ended up being given to Ridley, who has since become one of the biggest movie stars of her generation.
Michael Jordan
Michael Jordan has done it all: he’s won the “Sexiest Man Alive” award, landed the lead role in Black Panther, and even starred as Erik Killmonger in the Marvel movie, The Avengers. But did you know that he actually auditioned for Star Wars? The actor and director first revealed the details of his failed audition for the Star Wars franchise back in 2013. In 2013, he revealed his rejection letter.
As for why he was passed over for the role of Luke Skywalker in the new Star Wars film, the director’s decision to pass on Michael B. Jordan was understandable. The actor has had a successful career as an athlete, and he understands why auditions are so secretive. He also likes the position auditions put actors in. Luckily, his audition process did not cost him his dream role.
Location of audition
It’s hard to believe that Tom Holland had a failed “Star Wars” audition, but the actor did! The actor has opened up about the experience in interviews. In one interview, he admits to collapsing into a giggle after reading a line during the audition. While the audition sounds funny, the fact is that the actor’s performance in the movie didn’t live up to expectations.
The movie that Tom Holland was unable to land ended up going to John Boyega. The actor revealed that he tried out for the part of Finn, the character in the Star Wars franchise. His audition took place in New York City, where he was seen reading the line, but he failed to land the role. As a result, the role of Finn went to John Boyega and Cherry star, instead.
Details of role of Finn in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”
While we don’t know much about Finn’s character, we do know that he’s the main protagonist of the new trilogy, The Force Awakens. Though he takes a backseat to Kylo Ren and Rey in the first film, he does play a crucial role in the third movie. Here are some details about his role in the movie.
The first film centered on a detachment of stormtroopers who were sent to Jakku. There, Finn and his squad members fought alongside Kylo Ren, who later killed Lor San Tekka and captured Poe Dameron. When the battle took place, Finn’s squadmate was killed, and he began to question his actions as a stormtrooper. He eventually defected from the First Order, which was explained in a deleted scene.
