If this is true, the "Hunger Games" actor could end up in a major showdown with Alden Ehrenreich's character in the Han Solo standalone movie. However, some also believe that the mentor could be someone who introduces Han Solo to his first wife.

It hasn't been made official just yet, but fans have been speculating on the possibility that the Han Solo standalone film is looking for an actress to play Sana Starros.
