Last night, the filmmaker Phil Lord revealed details about the characters of “Han Solo” movie.
The latest “Star Wars” film is currently in its final works, and will soon hit the global cinemas. According to Slash Film, the hero of the movie, Val, is tasked to investigate the murder of a celebrity, Clarke. Either Phoebe Bridge or Thandie Newton has killed Clarke, but Val doesn’t know about the actual murderer. Another interesting character is a puppet, Mother Proxima, who tries her best to help Val in his investigations.
The untitled ‘Han Solo’ film
We are hoping to learn more about the movie and its characters in coming months. It has been directed and co-produced by Phil Lord, while Christopher Miller is serving as executive producer. Jon Kasdan and Lawrence have penned the story and dialogues. Lucasfilm is financing the movie, and Walt Disney Studios acquires the US distribution rights.
It is the second installment in the famous “Star Wars Anthology” film series and features Alden Ehrenreich, Woody Harrelson, Donald Glover, Phoebe Waller, Thandie Newton, Joonas Suotamo, and Emilia Clarke in the leading characters. Principal photography began in January 2017 in California, and the movie will swing into theaters on May 25, 2018.

The production being done
The production of ‘Han Solo’ film is being carried out in Los Angeles, Thailand, London, and Toronto.
In 2014, Disney CEO Bob Iger announced that two standalone movies would be developed and released in coming months. Shortly after this announcement, Kathleen Kennedy stated that the projects would not crossover with the original “Star Wars” film.
Jack Reynor, Miler Teller, Dave Franco, Ansel Elgort, Logan Lerman, Scott Eastwood, Blake Jenner, and Emory Cohen were auditioned for the role of Han Solo in February 2016.
After a month, Alden, Taron, and Reynor were shortlisted, and finally, Miller was chosen to play the character.

Disney behind the film
The Walt Disney Company is behind this mega-budget movie. It has its headquarters in California and is one of the largest companies to date. Founded in October 1923, the company has established itself as a leader in Hollywood. Every year, it develops hundreds to thousands of live-action films, television series, and documentaries.
Previously, some of its animated movies were criticized for having sexual references hidden in them.
These include “The Little Mermaid,” “Aladdin,” “The Lion King,” “The Rescuers, and “Who Framed Roger Rabbit.” But the studio claims that “Han Solo” is a complete family film and will come up the expectations of fans.
Since 2015, the studio is in the news for a live-action television series of the same name.
