The force is looking to be strong with Woody Harrelson. The actor is in early talks to join Alden Ehrenreich in the Han Solo Star Wars standalone film.
If cast, Harrelson will play an early mentor to Alden Ehrenreich’s Solo. Disney and Lucasfilm were looking for a big name for the role and at one point Christian Bale was even considered for the role. Donald Glover will play young Lando Calrissian in the Star Wars spinoff from Phil Lord and Chris Miller, which is also set to star Game of Thrones‘ Emilia Clarke.
The first Star Wars standalone, Rogue One, hit theaters over the holiday break and has to-date earned just a tad over $800 million at the global box office.
