Woody Harrelson was confirmed for the Han Solo movie a while back, but we had no clue who he was going to play other than a being "a bit of a criminal" mentor type of role. That changed today, according to a new report from Variety.
Harrelson confirmed his role to in the Han Solo spinoff to be Garrish Shrike. The character comes from the book 'The Paradise Snare', which came out a full 20 years after the original film in1997. According to the book, Shrike is the one who rescued Han Solo as a child and proceeded to teach him how to fly and be a criminal. If this sounds bad, it gets worse – Han left Shrike after he was beaten and abused.
