In the trailer, Solo reveals that he has been hustling since the age of 10 and was kicked out of the flight academy. Han Solo, played by Alden Ehrenreich, declares that he will be the best pilot in the galaxy. Game of Thrones actress Emilia Clarke is Qi’ra, who is the “only person who knows what you (Han Solo) are.” Donald Glover is a stylish Lando Calrissian. The film also stars Woody Harrelson, Thandie Newton, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Chewbacca is back as Solo’s reliable Millennium Falcon co-pilot. Solo is directed by Ron Howard, who replaced the previous directors, Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who were let go before filming was completed.
“Through a series of daring escapades deep within a dark and dangerous criminal underworld,” the official synopsis reads. “Han Solo meets his mighty future copilot Chewbacca and encounters the notorious gambler Lando Calrissian, in a journey that will set the course of one of the Star Wars saga’s most unlikely heroes.” The movie will have a heist film feel as Harrelson’s character Tobias Beckett is “putting together a crew.” Solo: A Star Wars Story soars into theaters on May 25.
