John Boyega boosted his already elevated status in Hollywood at the premiere of Pacific Rim: Uprising at the TCL Chinese Theater as not just the star of the film, but also as a first-time producer. Boyega, best known as Finn in two Star Wars movies, admitted on the red carpet that he’s ready for more producing.

“If I could produce every single film I’m in, I would,” he said. “I love it. I love it.”
