Woody Harrelson may join the Han Solo movie

Looks like Woody Harrelson may become Han Solo’s mentor as he is in early talks to join the Han Solo standalone movie. He already did the wise old mentor thing in The Hunger Games and Woody is always great to watch.

Alden Ehrenreich and Donald Glover — previously cast as Han Solo and Lando Calrissian, respectively — in the highly-anticipated film, which is set prior to the original Star Wars trilogy. Emilia Clarke is also starring in the film.

The screenplay for the Han Solo movie is written by Lawrence Kasdan and Jon Kasdan and will focus on how young Han Solo became the smuggler, thief, and scoundrel whom Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi first encountered in Mos Eisley.

The untitled Han Solo movie, helmed by directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, is set for release in 2018.
