Solo [Official Info] Woody Harrelson (Tobias Beckett) in Solo

Sounds pretty similar to the role he had in Hunger Games. He was great in that despite less than ideal dialogue. Almost a shame he played that kind of mentor role there first to be honest. I can definitely imagine him reaching Han some tricks though. Woody is rough around the edges in real life so I can buy it. They also wouldn't want him to upstage the new Han in looks or charm obviously is that works, too.

Until this becomes official let's keep the discussion of actors up for roles in the main Han Solo thread. Locking.

 

For those who haven't read Star Wars Catalyst -

Could Woody Harrelson be playing Has Obitt ?

Seems like the perfect mentor for Han Solo don't you think?

 

This is now confirmed here:

Boo.

 

Han's mentor it is.
what if he's actually Han's dad or stepfather???

 

I don't know, i won't be surprise if he will be the villian.

 

Good stuff.

 

Depending on how much inspiration they get from AC Crispin's books, he seems like he could play a good Garris Shrike.

 

I Hope Maz Kanata pops up in this film.

 

Maybe he could be a bounty hunter?

 

Thread title needs correcting a touch.

 

Eh.. Yay?

 

"What do you think Han? Alien kill of the week?"

 

Nina Gold is the best casting director in history.

The Star Wars cinematic universe couldn't have a better cast if it tried.

 

I nominate myself to be official Lucasfilm new character name approver. Seems like the books have it the worst.

I could see him playing Cad Bane...hes got the jaw-line....

Unlocking and merging into the official Woody Harrelson thread.

 

Nice! I cannot wait to see this film. The cast so far is amazing!

 

I like the Cheers gif. Chewbacca needs to be the stand in for Cliff in the movie.

 

Woody!
The best casting news since Samuel L Jackson.

 

I raise you a Woody slam dunk:
