13 Most Anticipated Upcoming Original Movie Characters

13. Beckett (Woody Harrelson) - Star Wars: Han Solo

The Role: A criminal known only as Beckett so far, who will serve as Han Solo's mentor throughout his early adventure.

Why You Should Be Excited: For starters, the idea of Woody Harrelson joining the Star Wars universe is just too delicious not to be mad-psyched about, and on top of that, he's going to be playing the guy who presumably gave Han Solo his swagger and probably taught him everything he knew.

Harrelson is fantastic at playing morally ambiguous characters who are at once charming and dangerous, so it's hard to imagine him not knocking this one out of the park...as long as the script is good enough and the film's worrying behind-the-scenes troubles don't sink it regardless.

If Harrelson gets half the chance, he's probably about to create a new Star Wars icon.
