The HAN SOLO Movie Is Getting a New Alien or Droid Character Played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge
Lucasfilm's Han Solo movie will introduce another mysterious character who will be joining his entourage. According to Variety, Phoebe Waller-Bridge from the Amazon series Fleabag will be playing this new character, which is said to play a key role in the story.
The report goes on to reveal that the role will be a CGI-driven performance much like the characters Chewbacca, C-3P0, and Alan Tudyk’s K-2SO from Rogue One. This means that the character will either be a droid or an alien.
There's no other information on who this character is, but it could be a completely new character created for the film, or there's always a chance that it could be an already existing character from somewhere in the Star Wars universe. We'll just have to wait and see.
Waller-Bridge will join Alden Ehrenreich as Solo, Donald Glover as Lando, Woody Harrelson as Garris Shrike, and Emilia Clarke in an unspecified role. The Phil Lord and Chris Miller-directed movie will hit theaters on May 25, 2018.
