Han Solo cast all smiles in new pic

- — Libby Hill

Principal photograph­y has begun on the untitled Han Solo “Star Wars” spinoff film featuring the adventures of the space pirate and his friends.

Lucasfilm released a photograph from the set of the film, currently in production at Pinewood Studios in London, featuring much of the cast posed around the flight console of the Millennium Falcon.

Phil Lord and Christophe­r Miller (“The Lego Movie”) co-directors of the film, were photograph­ed with cast members Woody Harrelson (“Zombieland”), Phoebe Waller-Bridge (“Fleabag”), Alden Ehrenreich (“Hail, Caesar!”), Emilia Clarke (“Game of Thrones”) and Donald Glover (“Atlanta”).

Thandie Newton (“Westworld”) also stars in the film but was not featured in the photo. Chewbacca, portrayed by Joonas Suotamo, was, however.

Shooting for the film began Monday, but beyond the cast, which boasts Ehrenreich as Solo and Glover as Lando Calrissian, little is known about the script penned by Lawrence and Jon Kasdan. The film is scheduled to arrive in theaters on May 25, 2018.
