    Variety has an exclusive report out this evening regarding the actresses who appear to be testing for the lead female role in the upcoming Han Solo film from Lord and Miller.





    The most prominent name mentioned in Variety's piece is undoubtedly Tessa Thompson who has quickly become a star after great turns in Selma and Creed.  She is also currently earning her geek cred by playing Valkyrie in the upcoming Thor: Ragnarok.





    Also mentioned in the piece are Zoe Kravitz of Mad Max: Fury Road and Naomi Scott who will be playing the Pink Ranger in the upcoming Power Rangers movie.  Variety states that these actresses are testing and does not refer to them as finalists, so it is possible more names will leak out as a result of this story.



    Also of note in Variety's piece, they reference the rumors that Donald Glover was the finalist for the role of young Lando Calrissian.  Variety reconfirms those rumors, but states the filmmakers are going back for a second round of testing to confirm the choice.





    With production slated to start early next years, casting rumors are likely to heat up as we get closer to the start of filming in just a few short months.

    I see people are saying it's for Sana. The third actress pictured is VERY light skinned. She does have Gujarati Indian and Scottish in her but Sana is dark skinned in the comic so I don't think it's for that character.

    Could we see this as a Rey Sloan or a Ciena Ree?

    I would love to see at least one of those two characters. I could see both of them showing up in R1 as we know both are active in that timeline.

    I hope Tessa gets it.
    Be Han's eventual love interest for the final 30 minutes. ;)
