Alden Ehrenreich has been cast as the young Han Solo in the upcoming standalone Star Wars film.
Deadline reported the news; Disney has yet to make an official announcement.
The new Star Wars Han Solo movie takes place prior to the events of Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope.
No other details are known other than the title may be “Han Solo: A Star Wars Story.”
Michael B. Jordan is also rumored as a young Lando Calrissian.
Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are directing the Han Solo movie. Yesterday saw Miller tweet out an image of Han Solo’s iconic blaster for Star Wars Day (see below).
The Han Solo movie has a May 25, 2018 release date.
