The main role of Han will be played by Alden Ehrenreich. He won the role over larger name actors such as Miles Teller, Logan Lerman, Dave Franco and Ansel Elgort.

“We’re so lucky to have an artist as talented as Donald join us,” said directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller.

“These are big shoes to fill, and an even bigger cape, and this one fits him perfectly, which will save us money on alterations. Also, we’d like to publicly apologize to Donald for ruining Comic-Con for him forever.”

Congratulations Donald Glover. I think we’re going to have to check it out when it gets released!
