In an interview with Esquire published 4/24/18, Solo star Alden Ehrenreich accidentally let it slip that he signed on for a total of three movies for Lucasfilm. And since he was cast to bring none other than a young Han Solo to life, it's fairly obvious that he won't be showing up in 2019's Episode IX or any other future Star Wars film unconnected to the soon-to-be-released prequel devoted to the "Shoot first"-minded smuggler.
When asked by interviewer Alex Pappademas how many movies his contract included, Ehrenreich answered: "Three...I don’t know if that’s officially, uh, public. But—yeah.”
Of course, there won't be a sequel, let alone a trilogy, unless Solo lives up to Lucasfilm's and Disney's idea of success. We'll just have to wait and see.
Solo hits theaters May 25.
Wait a minute...you actually posted this??? I can’t believe it!
