The Young Han Solo standalone movie may have yet found its leading man but confirmation out of Disney reveals everyones favourite Furry-Wingman will be making an appearance.
Speaking at Deutsche Bank 2016 Media, Internet & Telecom Conference. Disney’s Chief Bob Iger dropped the Wookie Bomb that Star Wars mainstay Chewbacca will join a young Han Solo in the Phil Lord & Chris Miller Directed Anthology story.
In a interview with The Wrap, Iger touch upon the Gareth Edwards’ Rogue One, set “before what was George Lucas‘s first film.” Before revealing that Disney have “others in the works, including one, which is an origin story about Han Solo and Chewie. And that’ll come after ‘Star Wars 8’ in 2018. And then there’ll be possibly be more thereafter.”
The film will mark the first time Solo’s origin has been explored on screen under the Disney banner. Dark Horse Comics and Novel’s have previously established the early years and mis-adventures of Han and Chewie – including a dark period in Han’s life when he joined the Imperial Navy – before Disney ret-conned the expanded universe in favour of their new Marvel-led comic book timeline.
We will have to wait and see what Disney has in store for the Intergalactic-duo but with numerous actors vying for the role, it will be interesting to see who will join our favourite Wookie at the helm of the Millennium Falcon when the film hits theatres May 25, 2018.
