Woody Harrelson now joins Emilia Clarke, Alan Ehrenreich and Donald Glover on the short list of actors confirmed to be playing a role in the upcoming, untitled Han Solo movie.
Harrelson has played key roles in movies such as The Hunger Games, No Country For Old Men and Zombieland.
Co-directors Christopher Miller and Phil Lord say:
“We couldn’t be more excited to work with an artist with as much depth and range as Woody, his ability to find both humor and pathos, often in the same role, is truly unique. He is also very good at ping pong.”
The untitled project is scheduled to be released sometime in 2018.
