The latest spin-off in the Star Wars saga, dedicated to Han Solo,
will be screened at Cannes next month, the film festival announced
Friday.
Solo: A Star Wars Story will grace the festival's red carpet ahead of its release in France and the US.
"Presented out of competition, the latest film of the Star Wars
galaxy (directed) by Ron Howard brings together Han Solo, his faithful
Chewbacca, the crooked Lando Calrissian, the Millenium Falcon and of
course the droids," the festival said on its website.
Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith was the last in the franchise to air at Cannes in 2005.
The latest instalment takes the audience back to the youth of the
famous smuggler and pilot Han Solo, played by US actor Alden
Ehrenreich.
It is the second spin-off derived from the famous science fiction
series, after Rogue One was released in December 2016 which made more
than $1 billion at the box office.
The Cannes International Film Festival will run from May 8 to 19.
