The biggest character not seen in the trailer was Paul Bettany's Dryden Vos, who plays a gangster in the movie - with Bettany stepping into the role after schedules meant Michael K. Williams had to be replaced. He's a crime boss, but a much cleaner one to those we've seen before, with Jon Kasdan saying:

"It’s a sort of combination of class and swagger and real danger which I think is a fun thing, and he absolutely inhabits it. He’s way deeper in the crime world than anyone else that we meet in the movie.”

Bettany certainly looks the part, and it'll be very interesting to see how he fits into things here. There's a suggestion that he'll be something of a villain, and with Han and Beckett also operating in the underworld it seems likely they'll butt heads.
