Over the last few months, we have also been drip fed casting news which included Warwick Davis and Spencer Wilding as well as John Powell coming on board to compose the score.
The film will focus on Han Solo and Chewbacca’s adventures years before the events of “Star Wars: A New Hope” including their early encounters with Lando Calrissian.
Alden Ehrenreich will take the lead as a young Han Solo, as well as Donald Glover as Lando, Joonas Suotamo as Chewbacca returning as familiar faces. Emilia Clarke, Woody Harrelson, Phoebe Waller-Bridge are all new faces to join the ever-growing saga as brand new characters.
The next film to be released from the Star Wars saga will be the Rian Johnson-directed Star Wars: The Last Jedi which is out on the 14th of December here in the UK and a day later in the US.
Han Solo is expected to be released in May 2018.
