Photo Introduces Cast to Young Han Solo Movie

A cast photo from the Millennium Falcon cockpit provides the first full look at the core cast of the currently unnamed Han Solo movie. The movie is starting principle photography for a May 25, 2018 release date. The cast in the photo from left to right is Woody Harrelson (name unverified, Solo's mentor), co-director Chris Miller, Phoebe Waller-Bridge (character unknown), Alden Ehrenreich (Han Solo), Emilia Clarke (character unknown), co-director Phil Lord, Donald Glover (Lando Calrissian), and Joonas Suotamo as Chewbacca. Not sure why the actor is in the Chewbacca costume but he actually first donned the role as stunt double for Peter Mayhew in The Force Awakens and write a message to the fans about taking on the iconic role. Thanks to Feris O. for the heads-up.
