Scala: how to get the result of the future

Question

I have a method that returns Futurelike this ...

def isTokenExpired(token: String): Future[Boolean] = {
  ...
}

... and then I have another method that calls isTokenExpired, which returns Booleanas follows:

def isExpired(token: String): Boolean = {
  var result = true
  isTokenExpired(token).onComplete {
    case Success(r) => result = r
    case Failure(_) => result = true
  }
  result
}

Is there a better way to write a method isExpired?

EDIT

At the request of EECOLOR, let me provide you more detailed information. For my Play application, I implemented a JSON Web Token (jwt) authorization mechanism. All claims are contained in jwt, except the expiration time, which is stored in the MongoDB collection. The following is a brief description of what the class looks like Token:

class Token {
  ...

  def id: String = { ... }
  def issueTime: LocalDateTime = { ... }
  def issuer: String = { ... }
  ...
  def isValid: Boolean = { ... }
  def isExpired: Boolean = { /* uses ReactiveMongo to access MongoDB  */ }
}

, jwt , . isExpired ReactiveMongo, Future. , jwt Action :

class SecuredAction[T <: Controller] private(private val methodName: String)
  extends ActionBuilder[ApiRequest] {

  ...

  def invokeBlock[A](request: Request[A], block: (ApiRequest[A]) => Future[SimpleResult]) = {{
    request.headers.get(HeaderNames.AUTHORIZATION) match {
      case Some(header) => s"""$AuthType (.*)""".r.unapplySeq(header).map(_.head.trim)
      case _ => None
    }} match {
      case Some(tokenString) => {
        val token = Token(tokenString)

        if (!token.isValid) {
          Logger.warn(s"request ${request.uri} not authorized: token ${token.id} has been tampered")
          Future.successful(Unauthorized(AuthErrors.authenticationViolated(token.subject)(request).asJson))
        } else if (token.isExpired) {
          Logger.debug(s"request ${request.uri} not authorized: token ${token.id} has expired")
          Future.successful(Unauthorized(AuthErrors.authenticationExpired(token.subject)(request).asJson))
        } else if (!isAuthorized(token)) {
          Logger.info(s"request ${request.uri} not authorized: required claims not defined for account ${token.subject}")
          Future.successful(Forbidden(AuthErrors.requestNotAuthorized(token.subject)(request).asJson))
        } else {
          Logger.debug(s"request ${request.uri} authorized for account ${token.subject}")
          block(new ApiRequest(token, request))
        }
      }
      case _ => {
        Logger.debug(s"request ${request.uri} not authenticated")
        Future.successful(Unauthorized(
          AuthErrors.requestNotAuthenticated()(request).asJson
        ).withHeaders(HeaderNames.WWW_AUTHENTICATE -> AuthType))
      }

:

Await.result(futureResult, Duration.Inf)

a Future[Value] Value, .

...

// wait forever to make future current (?)
