Han Solo: Woody Harrelson Talks About Ron Howard Taking Over


Ron Howard is now taking over the Han Solo spinoff movie, after what seemed to be one of the most shocking moves ever done by Lucasfilm. A lot of fans have showed their concern with how the movie will turn out, but star Woody Harrelson says that the movie is "in good hands."

Talking to Uproxx, Harrelson explains:

"Ron [Howard] is great. He's awesome. He's such a gentleman and so prepared. And I loved Chris [Miller] and Phil [Lord]. But I think we did land in very capable hands."

Harrelson will be playing the role of Beckett in the movie, a sort of mentor to a young Han Solo who is being played by Alden Ehrenreich. We don't know just how much of Harrelson will be in the movie, but it looks like he'll be in it for a generous amount—unlike Forest Whitaker's Saw Gerrera in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

Besides the behind-the-scenes drama, we still know very little about the Han Solo movie, and a lot of fans are expecting a first look at some point in D23 this month. Sure we're told that the movie is now in fine hands, but we'd like to see some "evidence"—if that's what you want to call it.

Han Solo: A Star Wars Story comes out May 25, 2018.
