Harrelson eyed for Han Solo spinoff
After playing a mentor to Katniss Everdeen in “The Hunger Games” franchise, Woody Harrelson might help guide another iconic character's journey.
While talks are still in the early stages, Harrelson is the top choice to play Han Solo's mentor in the upcoming “Star Wars” spinoff starring Alden Ehrenreich, reported Variety.
Donald Glover and Emilia Clarke also star, with Phil Lord and Chris Miller directing. Disney had no comment.
The movie will be set prior to “Star Wars: A New Hope,” like the other “Star Wars” standalone project, “Rogue One”, which hit theatres on December 16 and is currently ruling the box office
The film is expected to begin production in January, and slated to release May 25, 2018.
In the past year, Harrelson has kept busy, appearing in the cop drama “Triple Nine”, “Now You See Me 2”, “LBJ”, and “The Edge of Seventeen”.
The coming year looks just as busy, with “The Glass Castle” opposite Brie Larson, “Wilson”, and the highly anticipated “War of the Planet of the Apes”, in which he plays the new antagonist.
