According to Variety, Woody Harrelson (War for the Planet of the Apes, The Hunger Games, Zombieland) is in talks to play an unnamed mentor for the younger incarnation of Han Solo, who will be played by Hail, Caesar! actor Alden Ehrenreich. Apparently discussions are in the very early stages, but Harrelson is the "top choice" for the role right now. If he signs on, he'll join an already very impressive cast that also includes Emilia Clarke and Donald Glover.
No details on this character are provided, but one would assume he'd also be a smuggler of some sort if he's Solo's mentor.
Kathleen Kennedy and Allison Shearmur are producing the Han Solo standalone flick, which is expected to begin production in January, and is currently set to hit theaters on May 25, 2018.
True that Disney & Lucasfilm wanted someone big for HAN SOLO...before Woody Harrelson, CHRISTIAN BALE was the other big name in the mix.
