| Solo will first air at Cannes Film Festival |
Disney has released a new trailer for their prequel movie
SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY which will bring Han's origin story into cinemas May 25th! A rather doomed project which had to change its director in the middle of production and got mixed reaction for the first trailer and the choice of

Emilia Clarke as Qi'Ra,
Woody Harrelson as Solo's mentor and
Donald Glover as young Lando Calrissian, the movie will describe how Han Solo became the famed criminal of the galactic empire.
