According to an announcement by StarWars.com, Emilia Clarke will star in the new Han Solo stand-alone movie.
Known for her role as Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones, Clarke is looking to solidify her mark in Hollywood. Starring alongside Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian and Alden Ehrenreich as Solo, the role that Clarke will play is still unknown. We do know that she will be encountering Han and Chewie throughout their adventures, according to the announcement.
Like Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which is set to release in December 2016, the Solo solo film is set to take place between the original and new trilogies.
The untitled Solo film is set to release on May 25, 2018. It is directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller.
