Power Book IV: Force star petitions for a Top Boy crossover

Power Book IV: Force star Joseph Sikora has said he would be interested in a crossover with British series Top Boy.

The actor, known for playing Tommy Egan in the Power spin-off, seems to be down for his character to meet the drug lords from across the pond.

It all started with an Instagram post by 50 Cent, who co-produces Power with creator Courtney A. Kemp. The rapper posted a clip where Top Boy protagonist, actor Ashley Walters, talks about working with him on his 2005 semi-autobiographical film, Get Rich or Die Tryin'.

"If you watched Get Rich or Die Tryin' you know why I love Top Boy, @ashleywalters is my man, I can't wait to do a show with him," the rapper wrote in the caption.

Sikora joined in the conversation, writing: "Force/TopBoy cross. I'm in."

But he wasn't the only Force actor to leave a comment, as his co-stars Gabrielle Ryan and Tommy Flanagan also expressed their love for Top Boy, with the latetr stating: "Top Boy… what a brilliant show!".

First introduced in Power and also starring in Power Book II: Ghost and Power Book II: Force, the character played by Sikora is a convicted drug dealer from Queens. In Force, the spotlight is on Tommy as he tries to set up business in Chicago.

The Tommy-focused spin-off has recently been renewed for a second season. Prior to the official announcement, Sikora sat with Digital Spy, explaining why he would be up for returning in the role.

"I'll be up for a second and third season easily because I think there's a lot more story to tell. I think Chicago as a city deserves it," he said. "And I think the fans deserve it to get to a place where we can live with less words and more time in Tommy's psyche."

Power Book IV: Force airs every Sunday on Starz in the US and Starzplay available through Amazon Prime Video in the UK, while Power Book II: Ghost seasons 1 and 2 and Power Book III: Raising Kanan are available to watch on the same streaming services.
