SING STREET Breakout Star Ian Kenny Joins HAN SOLO Movie
The cast of upcoming Star Wars spinoff Han Solo has added yet another actor, this time in the form of Sing Street standout Ian Kenny. Hit the jump for details on everything we know so far!
Variety reports that Ian Kenny is the latest addition to the cast of Disney and Lucasfilm's currently untitled Han Solo movie. Unfortunately, we have no idea who he's playing, but considering the fact the Sing Street star doesn't bear any sort of immediate resemblance to any famous faces from the franchise it's probably safe for us to assume that he's been cast as a new character.
The actor now joins an impressive ensemble made up of Alden Ehrenreich, Donald Glover, Thandie Newton, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Woody Harrelson, Michael K. Williams, and Emilia Clarke. Phil Lord and Chris Miller are directing Han Solo, while Jon and Lawrence Kasdan wrote the screenplay.
Earlier this week, Disney CEO Bob Iger revealed that the movie is going to revolve around the iconic hero between the ages of 18 and 24, so Kenny is the right age to play a friend or even family member. We'll just have to wait and see, but as Han Solo is set to be released on May 25th, 2018, we hopefully don't have too much longer to wait until some official details are revealed about this film.
