No details have been revealed about Clake’s character, with an announcement on the official Star Wars website simply reading: “Clarke’s role will round out a dynamic cast of characters that Han and Chewie will encounter on their adventures.”
Clarke will join Alden Ehrenreich, who was officially cast as the young Han Solo back in July.
Last month directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller announced that ‘Atlanta’ actor Donald Glover had been cast as the young Lando Calrissian. In a statement the duo said: ““We’re so lucky to have an artist as talented as Donald join us.”
