Han Solo Star Wars Spin-Off Teased In New Image

Will Han Solo be shooting from the hip in his ‘Star Wars’ spin-off movie?

A new picture posted by the film’s co-director Chris Miller reveals a shot of Han Solo’s iconic blaster pistol – the infamous DL-44. And while we still have no idea who’ll be picking up the iconic gun, it’s already sending fans wild with speculation.

After all, does this mean the blaster pistol will feature in the upcoming film?

“Can’t wait to get “shooting”!” he said via Twitter, adding the popular hashtag: “#MayThe4thBeWithYou”

Featured in the image is a version of the iconic DL-44 blaster pistol – Han Solo’s weapon of choice throughout the original ‘Star Wars’ trilogy.

Of course, most fans will tell you that numerous different versions made it to the screen throughout the trilogy… but it’s thought that the pistol pictured above could be the one we’ll see in the upcoming Han Solo spin-off.

Either that, or Chris Miller has an impressive replica collection.

It’s thought that the Han Solo ‘Star Wars’ spin-off is soon due to begin filming… but there’s still no word on who has landed the leading role.

Jack Reynor, Taron Egerton, Alden Ehrenreich and Emory Cohen are all thought to have made the shortlist. But Disney is yet to announce which has nabbed the part, leading some to speculate that the young Han Solo still evades them.

Who will get to sling the iconic blaster?

For now, we’ll have to wait and see… but it’s got to be the coolest role in Hollywood.

The upcoming Han Solo movie heads to cinemas on 25 May 2018.
