Rumor: Pheobe Waller-Bridge in Talks to Star in Young Han Solo Film

Filming has already begun on the young Han Solo stand alone film, but casting for the film is still going on.  Variety is reporting that Pheobe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag, Broadchurch) is in talks to appear in the young Han Solo film.  Apparently the role would be "a CGI-driven performance", which seems to imply it will be a motion capture role (like Maz Kanata and Snoke in The Force Awakens).  She has received critical acclaim for her role in the Amazon Prime series Fleabag, having been nominated for a Critics Choice award for her role.


If cast, Waller-Bridge would join a cast that already includes Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo, Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian, Emilia Clarke, and Woody Harrelson.  The film is directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, with a script by Lawrence Kasdan and his son Jon Kasdan.  It is slated for a 2018 release.

As always, this is just a rumor until confirmed or denied by Lucasfilm or Disney.
