On Tuesday, it was reported that the actor who played Darth Vader in Rogue One will appear in Ron Howard's Han Solo standalone film.Fans didn't expect him to play Vader in the Star Wars spin-off but that didn't stop them from speculating who he might play. However, it turns out the rumor wasn't true. The actor took it to his Facebook page to shoot down the rumors, revealing why he cancelled his convention appearance.
Here's what Spencer wrote on his personal Facebook account:
"Hi guys and to all the world of fans from#Starwars there is a rumor out there that is saying am in the new #HanSolo film ... wot it is I hat to cancel on a show called #Fandomfest.com state side because I am doing a #Charity visit at a school called Cobram secondary college & a special needs school over in lovely Australia to meet all the #Awesome kids and very talented kids that they are very impressive:-) ... so just to let u all no I am ?% not filming on starwars... the comic con promoters of the show put 1on1 together and got 69 lol and they just try to guess y I canceled and came up with that ... so sorry guys defo not true they have removed it of there site now . Star Wars is such s huge show and it's amazing how a rumor like that can spread so fast so we have nipped it in the bud . I can't wait to see HanSolo as much as u lot so for now. U all keep safe out kids be careful crossing the rd and do good in school and follow them dreams and MAY THE FORCE BE WITH U xx"
The convention might have just assumed that Spencer was going to film a new Star Wars film but to publish the reaosn on their site without confirmation is just unprofessional. They should have at least asked him first. Besides, the description "newest film in the Star Wars Universe" sounds vague.
The untitled Han Solo film is set to release in theaters on May 24, 2018.
