Is Darth Vader in the Star Wars Han Solo movie?

UPDATE: Spencer Wilding has since denied the reports:

ORIGINAL STORY:

Ultimate villain Darth Vader looks set to feature in the Star Wars Han Solo spin-off film. Spencer Wilding played Vader in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and it’s been revealed that the 45 year old actor will return to shoot the upcoming Han Solo movie.

Wilding was set to make an appearance at the US FandomFest, but the convention’s official site has stated that he has cancelled because “he will be filming the newest film in the Star Wars Universe”.

As the only Star Wars movie currently in production is the Han Solo spin-off, we must assume that’s the film FandomFest is referring to. There’s no guarantee that Wilding will star as Vader though, as the actor has played other roles for Disney before, including Guardians of the Galaxy’s Mean Guard.
