Solo: A Star Wars Story - 12 Rumours That Were Utter Bull

The Rumour: With Solo's "villain" Enfys Nest having no credited actor prior to the movie's release and it being confirmed last month that she is in fact a woman, rumours began swirling that she would turn out to be none other than Qi'ra in disguise. What a twist!

The Truth: It's easy to see the logic in this rumour, credibility-stretching though it undeniably is, but as it turns out, Enfys Nest is actually played by a virtually unknown actress named Erin Kellyman.

This was definitely the right call: having Enfys be a slight, unimposing young woman is infinitely more interesting than her randomly turning out to be Qi'ra for the sake of shock value. The character's apparently coming back for future movies, and given her strong showing here, that's great news.
