A new look at the upcoming Star Wars spin-off, Solo: A Star Wars Story, is sure to have fans eagerly speculating about their favorite Rebel Alliance pilot’s beginnings.
Solo premiered a new trailer during American Idol on Sunday night.
“You’re after something,” Emilia Clarke’s Qi’Ra says to Solo, played by Hail, Caesar! actor Alden Ehrenreich, in the clip. “Is it revenge? Money? Or something else?”
Solo then pitches his case to Woody Harrelson‘s Tobias Beckett, hoping to secure a job.
“I’m a driver, and I’m a flyer,” he says. “I waited a long time for a shot like this.”
Fans also get quick glimpses of new characters played by Paul Bettany and Thandie Newton. Donald Glover, who plays franchise favorite Lando Calrissian, also makes an appearance, assuring Solo that “everything you’ve heard about me is true.”
