Princes Harry and William Play Stormtroopers in New 'Star Wars' Film

Sources now tell The Hollywood Reporter that not only will the two royals, plus Hardy and Barlow, appear in The Last Jedi and as Stormtroopers, but they all appear together in the same scene. THR understands that the four will be seen guarding Boyega's character, Finn, in an elevator, surely making it Star Wars' most secretly star-studded sequence of all time.

During a taping of THR's Actor Roundtable, Boyega confirmed the reports and joked that sharing a scene with the royals and Hardy "wrapped in Stormtroopers costumes" made for a "strange contrast of a weird family." He added: "It's the best of both worlds for me." 

Although appearing alongside the world's most famous brothers might seem like a nerve-racking moment, Boyega said it was more "fun" than intimidating. "It was a great experience," continued Boyega, who then gushed about the significance of his Star Wars résumé.

"You're a child. There's a new planet every day and a new scene to play," he says. "It makes you feel like you're a part of history in a sense."

Even more so now with these latest additions. The Last Jedi will be released Dec. 15.
