It looks like there’s no bad blood betweenStar WarscostarsJohn BoyegaandKelly Marie Tran.
The two actors posed together at the premiere forStar Wars: The Rise of Skywalkeron Monday night outside the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood, California.
Boyega, 27, wore a sharp blue suit for the anticipated event, while Tran, 30, opted for a floor-length, off the shoulder sequined gown. The two stars were photographed several times together on the blue carpet with Boyega’s hand around Tran’s waist, and they also posed for a shot with Mark Hamill and Marilou York.
The photos of the pair come less than one week after Boyega apologized forimplying that his costar was “weak” for deleting social mediain 2018 after facing online harassment.
“I was really speaking from my own perspective throughout this franchise,” he continued in his tweet. “Sometimes I’ve felt strong and sometimes I’ve felt weak. Badly worded though. I apologize.”

In theVarietyinterview, Boyega said, “Being in this position, you just understand the masses, how the masses think, you know. Through social media, we get to engage, we get to have fun. But at the same time, for those who are not mentally strong, you are weak to believe in every single thing that you read.”
“That’s, you know, it is what it is. I don’t know, for me anyway, when I see that [backlash], I’m like, ‘Well, that’s actually not true.’ But no, it is actually not true. So it’s kind of like [shrugs], it is what it is,” he continued.

After Tan deleted her Instagram in 2018, Boyega spoke out in support of the actress.
“If you don’t like Star Wars or the characters understand that there are decision-makers and harassing the actors/ actresses will do nothing,” hewroteon Twitter at the time. “You’re not entitled to politeness when your approach is rude. Even if you paid for a ticket!”
