The latest actor stepping aboard the upcoming Han Solo movie is veteran film and television actor Woody Harrelson.

“We couldn’t be more excited to work with an artist with as much depth and range as Woody,” said the film’s directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. “His ability to find both humor and pathos, often in the same role, is truly unique. He is also very good at ping pong.”
The other news on Han Solo : A Star Wars Story is that Emilia Clarke is heading to that galaxy far, far away — and she’s going to meet Han and Chewie.

StarWars.com announced that Clarke, known for her stirring portrayal of Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones, will join the upcoming untitled Han Solo Star Wars movie. Clarke’s role will round out a dynamic cast of characters that Han and Chewie will encounter on their adventures.
Clarke joins Alden Ehrenreich and Donald Glover — previously cast as Han Solo and Lando Calrissian, respectively — in the highly-anticipated film, which is set prior to the original Star Wars trilogy.


The untitled Han Solo movie, helmed by directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, is set for release in 2018.
