Actor Paul Bettany will be appearing in that galaxy far, far away as part of 2018’s young Han Solo film based on the tweets below sent out earlier today by director Ron Howard.
Slashfilm says Bettany will be taking up the same exact role that was previously given to Michael K. Williams, who unfortunately had to depart the project due to scheduling conflicts for required reshoots. However, the one change to the character is that it will now be completely human, as opposed to the motion-capture alien originally portrayed by Williams.
