Basically, it's all a bit odd.
The scene sees a Stormtrooper – who is believed to be played by the Mad Max and Taboo star – engaging with Finn (John Boyega) as he stands in an elevator.

Turning his head towards Finn, the soldier says "FN-2187?", hinting that things are about to turn nasty as the Stormtrooper realises that he is a defector.
The tension builds and weapons are about to be drawn when Hardy – or 926 as his character is known – says jovially: "I know I’m not supposed to initiate contact with officers, but I never took you for captain material. Look at you - captain!" before giving Finn a slap on the bum.
