As the "Solo: A Star Wars Story" nears its premiere, more and more information about the mysterious spinoff is popping up online. The latest ones come in the form of Michael K. Williams and Jon Favreau's new character details.
Williams recently shared some bits of information about his character, Dryden Vos, including a love triangle between him, Qi'Ra (Emilia Clarke), and the young Han (Alden Ehrenreich). Talking to Sirius XM's "Jim and Sam Show," the actor described him as a "half mountain lion, half human" who is "extremely sophisticated" and "very rich."
"He'd been around the world, older guy," Williams added, "and it was sort of a love triangle between Emilia Clarke's character, Qi'Ra and the young Han Solo."
Per Comic Book, his comment does not necessarily mean that there would be romantic interactions between the three. Rather, his usage of "love triangle" refers to how the characters interact with one another.
"Not where it was overtly a love triangle but there was definitely a pissing contest going on for the girl's attention," Williams clarified. "And [his character, Dryden Vos] is old and [Han] is younger so it was that thing also going on, like, 'Young buck, I've been around the world.' But he's like, 'The young chick wants the young buck.' So there was a little bit of that energy going on. But the relationship on paper was definitely with Qi'Ra and Han Solo."
Meanwhile, fans also received a new detail about Favreau's multiple-armed character. The information comes from a leaked packaging of the film's Funko POP! Vinyl figures. Apparently, the "Iron Man 3" director will be voicing an alien named Rio Durant. The name reveal came after he tweeted a photo of the "Solo" character he is voicing on Instagram earlier this month.
