Thandie Newton teases her mysterious Star Wars character Val
The character remains cloaked in mystery ahead of the film’s release next month.
Thandie Newton has previewed her appearance as Val in Star Wars’ upcoming Han Solo spin-off.
The British actress, 45, portrays the character – who remains cloaked in mystery – in Solo: A Star Wars Story.
She shared a new photo on Twitter of as Val in which she wears what appears to be a pilot uniform.
The Westworld star wrote “casual” alongside the image.
Earlier this week she teased her role will be a significant one, telling Radio Times magazine: “I’m the first woman of colour to have a prominent role in the Star Wars legacy.”
“I’m the first. I’m going to have a toy and everything.
“It’s exciting, but that’s all I can say. It is a big deal.”
Newton will be joined by Alden Ehrenreich, Woody Harrelson, Donald Glover and Emilia Clarke in Solo: A Star Wars Story, which is due to be released in the UK in May.
