New Solo Trailer Hints At Betrayal And A Shocking Chewbacca Reveal

Believe it or not, nevertheless there's a new Star Wars movie flying into theaters next month—yes, next month. The first trailer for Solo: A Star Wars Story introduced fans to a younger, somehow even more arrogant Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich), although the thrilling new trailer sheds even more light on how Solo became the most beloved scoundrel in the galaxy.


The trailer opens with Qi'Ra (Emilia Clarke) asking Solo what he's right after. "Is it revenge? Cash? Or is it something else?" She asks. Then the heist truly starts, as we visualize Tobias Beckett (Woody Harrelson) recruiting Solo to join his crew for a job. Their mission? That's still TBD although we know it necessitates a "big-time gangster" (Paul Bettany). Joining Beckett and Solo along for the ride are Qi'Ra, a mysterious woman named Val (Thandie Newton), the one and only Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover), his droid companion L3-37 (voiced by Phoebe Waller-Bridge), plus a 190-year-old Wookiee named Chewbacca.


Before you watch the brand-new trailer, you could desire to heed Lando's suggestions and "buckle up, baby"—because it's a real doozy:


The trailer as a dizzying array of new footage, nevertheless one scene in particular stands out. Once Beckett tells Solo, "Assume each person will betray you, and also you will never be disappointed," is he perhaps talking about himself? Will one or more of Han's friends betray him? (Technically, we know Lando does betray him in The Empire Strikes Back.) Is that why by the time we meet him in A New Hope he's such a surly loner?


We'll have to wait up until Solo's release on May 25 to find out.
