It's safe to say that the upcoming Han Solo anthology film has become a hot topic in recent weeks. After the departure of the film's initial directors, Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the Star Wars project is now under the guidance of Ron Howard.
Nevertheless, fans seem to have plenty of reasons to look forward to the film - including its cast of characters, the details of which are largely under wraps. That includes Emilia Clarke's role, but that doesn't appear to have stopped the actress from hyping up the character.
While speaking to Rolling Stone, the Game of Thrones actress voiced her excitement about the Star Wars role, while also joking about the secrecy surrounding the cinematic universe.
"All I can say is that she's awesome," Clarke explained. "Like, legit, that's all I can actually get away with saying. There's a stormtrooper with a gun, and he's going to come walking in any second."
This isn't the first time the actress has joked about the matter, saying in April of this year that the project is more secretive than Game of Thrones.
In terms of characters fans already know, the still-untitled Han Solo film has several. Aside from the titular character and his furry sidekick Chewbacca, the film also includes a young Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover), and is rumored to include Jabba the Hutt as well.
Han Solo releases in theaters on May 25, 2018.
