Emilia Clarke gets on board Han Solo Star Wars movie

English actress Emilia Clarke has just been announced as another addition to the standalone Han Solo Star Wars movie’s growing cast. The news comes by way of the official Star Wars website. She will be joining Donald Glover, who is portraying a young Lando Calrissian, and Alden Ehrenreich as the young Han Solo himself.

Emilia Clarke is obviously best known for her role as Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones, but she recently stole many a heart in Me Before You. She also appeared in another big action sci-fi franchise, with her starring role as a young Sarah Connor in Terminator Genisys before that. So it will be interesting to find out whether she will again be portraying a younger version of an existing character like she did in that film, along with the rest of the cast announced thus far…

The untitled Han Solo movie is being directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller with a 2018 release set. Keep it locked to Flickreel for more on this and other news about the film as it comes in.
