Yahoo Movies Warwick Davis confirmed for the Star Wars Han Solo spin-off movie
‘Star Wars’ veteran Warwick Davis is set for yet another trip to a galaxy far, far away.
He’s currently on set at Pinewood, with a role in the Han Solo spin-off movie, under the directorship of Ron Howard.
Howard and Davis have history too, with Howard directing Davis in ‘Willow’.
The news came after a fan asked whether he had any plans for a sequel to the 1988 fantasy, to which he replied:
“Glad you are asking for one! I directed @WarwickADavis for the 1st time in 30 years today. It made me happy.”
