We all know Han wasn’t a virgin when he met Leia – I mean, come on – but he might be when he meets his female sparring partner in the upcoming Lord/Miller “young Han Solo” movie. Sure, it’s a little presumptuous to assume that “female lead” and “romantic interest” are synonymous, but we will take that bet.
Three actresses reportedly auditioned for the role in London recently: Creed‘s Tessa Thompson, Fury Road‘s Zoe Kravitz, and Naomi Scott, who was in, uh, Terra Nova. Remember Terra Nova?
Whoever wins through will join Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo and (possibly) Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian in the hotly anticipated but as-yet-untitled film, which is set for release on May 25, 2018.
