The Avengers: Age of Ultron actor Paul Bettany has come on board the highly-anticipated Han Solo Star Wars spinoff movie.
Director Ron Howard shared a photo of the 46-year-old actor on the set of the Star Wars stand-alone film.
"The Outer Rim just got a little bit wilder #PaulBettany #ForceFriday," Howard wrote.
The film marks third collaboration between Howard and Bettany. They have previously worked together in A Beautiful Mind and The Da Vinci Code.
"It's my third opportunity to work with Paul. He's a blast and so talented," Howard, 63, added.
Bettany's casting comes two weeks after Michael K Williams dropped out of the project due to scheduling conflicts.
The still-untitled Han Solo movie will arrive in cinemas on May 25, 2018.
