The film ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’, which will hit theaters in May next year, will tell the story of the young days of Han Solo, the rough yet charming hero made famous by Harrison Ford in the original trilogy.

Han Solo will be played by Alden Ehrenreich, and the role of his friend Lando Calrissian, originally played by Billy Dee Williams, will be taken over by Donald Glover.

The film about Han Solo is part of Disney’s efforts to expand the Star Wars story beyond the original series. The company previously released the standalone film ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’ in 2016, making Han Solo its second ‘spin-off’.
