Spencer Wilding Joins The Cast Of HAN SOLO; Will Darth Vader Make An Appearance?

According to multiple reports, Spencer Wilding (Darth Vader in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) has been cast in the upcoming Han Solo film - but will we see him suit up as the iconic villain once more?

Ever since the Han Solo anthology film was announced back in 2015, fans wondered and speculated about the possibility of Lucasfilm trying to squeeze in a Darth Vader appearance. The film is set before the events of the original 1977 film (A New Hope), so Vader is most certainly around. Even so, what role could he possibly have in a film about a young Han Solo?

Well, Disney and Lucasfilm might have found a way to throw the iconic villain into the smuggler's story. Maybe.

According to a report by Jedi NewsSpencer Wilding (the man under the mask of Darth Vader in Rogue One) was scheduled to appear at Fandom Fest in Kentucky. However, the 45-year old actor was forced to cancel due to the filming of the latest Star Wars movie. The event's website left the following message:

Spencer Wilding will be unable to attend as he will be filming the newest film in the Star Wars Universe. Spencer will be coming back next year.

The only Star Wars movie that is currently filming is Han Solo, making it the lone candidate for the film the website mentioned. Spencer's casting in Han Solo doesn't necessarily guarantee that he will portray Darth Vader again, though - in fact, many believe that Wilding will play an entirely different character. 

In other news, director Ron Howard revealed that Warwick Davis has also joined the cast of Han Solo. Check out his tweet below.

The untitled Han Solo film is set to be released on May 25, 2018.

No. The only time I want to see him again is if it's a Vader standalone set between Sith and A New Hope.

I wonder if there is Darth Vader button somewhere over at Disney. With a sign above it that reads:
"Break in the event of sh*tty Firsr Cut of Film"
