It looks as though every corner of Hollywood is interested in weighing in on Captain America: Civil War.

Now, Star Wars: The Force Awakens breakout actor John Boyega has declared himself #TeamCap.

Boyega, who recently won the BAFTA Rising Star award for his part in reviving the Star Wars franchise Friday, wrote on Twitter: “I’m with Captain America. FULLY.”

Boyega teased fans that went for #TeamIronMan, saying, “You can keep your government registration” and “Enjoy that super hero police badge.” He pointed out that the moments cited in the trailer weren’t heroes’ faults. “All those cities destroyed by villains, not heroes,” he tweeted.

“If I’m in a burning building I hope Iron Man doesn’t have to wait for his badge to come through the post before he saves me. #teamcap.”

But even before Team Cap, Boyega gave his full support to Poe Dameron: “Anyway, above all #teampoe.”

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
