Howard announced the title while shooting a video at the end of filming and with the seeming help of Solo's co-pilot, Chewbacca.

Alden Ehrenreich is taking over the role of the cocky bounty hunter, made famous in the 'Star Wars' films by Harrison Ford.

'Solo: A Star Wars Story' is set for release on May 25, 2018. The first 'Star Wars' spin-off was 'Rogue One' and the next spin-off film is expected to be based on the Jedi Knight Obi-Wan kenobi.
