Filming on the upcoming and as yet untitled Han Solo spinoff film is finally underway. Co-director Chris Miller took to Twitter this morning to announce the news, showing off a behind-the-scenes shot of the film’s clapboard and a caption that riffs on the classic “Han shot first” Greedo controversy:
Han
First

Also of note is the working title for the film, “Red Cup.” While there are likely many Star Wars fans feverishly trying to decipher the title, it’s likely not much more than a red solo cup reference.
Starring Alden Ehrenreich (Hail, Caesar!) in the leading role as the famous smuggler, the film is directed by Miller and his longtime film partner, Phil Lord. It also stars Donald Glover (Atlanta) as Lando Calrissian, Game of Thrones‘ Emilia Clarke in an unrevealed role, and Woody Harrelson as Han Solo’s mentor.
