We’ve got a good year to wait for the release of the as yet untitled Han Solo movie but we do have a good bit of intel so far regarding its cast, one of whom has been confirmed as Hunger Games star Woody Harrelson who stated earlier this year that his character is called Beckett and describes him as “a bit of a criminal” who acts as a mentor to the young Han Solo.

He can be a bit of a hit and miss actor, with films ranging from the not so good (Indecent Proposal, Now You See Me) to the very good (Wag the Dog, The Thin Red Line), but Harrelson does excel in loveable rogue type roles that we’ve seen him pull of perfectly in films like Zombieland and The People vs. Larry Flynt so Beckett sounds quite perfect for him.

Let’s just hope his role in this movie doesn’t prompt another Rampart-style Reddit AMA.
