Emilia Clarke is journeying from Westeros to a galaxy far away.<\/p>\n

The Game of Thrones<\/em> actress has been cast in an unnamed role in Disney’s upcoming young Han Solo Star Wars<\/strong> spinoff film.<\/p>\n

Alden Ehrenreich is set to star as a younger version of the interstellar smuggler made famous by Harrison Ford in the original Star Wars<\/strong> trilogy and the more recent Star Wars: The Force Awakens<\/strong>. Former Community<\/em> cast member Donald Glover will be playing Lando Calrissian, the charming gambler first played by Billy Dee Williams in The Empire Strikes Back<\/strong>. The film is set some unspecified time before the smuggler has his fateful meeting with Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi in a dingy cantina on the backwater planet of Tatooine.<\/p>\n

Previously, there was a rumored shortlist of actresses auditioning for the film which included Tessa Thompson, Zoe Kravitz, and Naomi Scott, however it is unclear if they were trying for a different role or the one that ultimately went to Clarke.<\/p>\n

The film is being directed by The LEGO Movie<\/strong>\u2019s Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, working from a script by Empire Strikes Back<\/strong> scripter Lawrence Kasdan and his son Jon.<\/p>\n

The untitled film is set for a May 25th, 2018 release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
