Alden Ehrenreich, of Hail, Caesar!, is in talks to play the young Han Solo in a Star Wars spinoff film, to be directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. The script for the film has been written by Lawrence Kasdan and his son, Jon Kasdan. Kathleen Kennedy and Lawrence Kasdan will produce.
“Plot details are being kept under wraps, though it won’t quite be a typical origin story. Instead, the film is expected to follow Solo before he links up with the rebel alliance. Chewbacca will play a key role, and it’s entirely possible that young Han could cross paths with the bounty hunter known as Boba Fett.”
