The next Disney standalone Star Wars movie for Han Solo movie will start filming in February.
Disney's Kathleen Kennedy confirmed the news.
"We're actually very close. We are going to start shooting in February," Kennedy said.
Kennedy also previously described the Star Wars Han Solo movie as more of a western.
"This moves closer to a heist or western type feel,” Kennedy said. “We’ve talked about (Frederic) Remington and those primary colors that are used in his paintings defining the look and feel of the film.”
The Han Solo movie will take place in the early days of the character, prior to Episode IV and will also feature Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian.
The untitled Star Wars Han Solo movie will be released May 25, 2018 directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller with a script by Lawrence Kasdan and Joe Kasdan starring Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo and Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian.
Disney released the first of their Star Wars standalone movies this week with Rogue One.
