Yet another Once Upon a Time star will not return for season seven. Some deep-sea villains could play a part in Aquaman. Stephen King and J.J. Abrams’ new horror collaboration has found its star. Plus, a gross new clip from Alien: Covenant, more tiny Defenders teasers, and Shannara Chronicles has a new home. Spoilers!
Han Solo
Star Wars News Net has uncovered a ton of un-embeddable concept art claiming to be from the film. Sourced from a series of now-removed eBay UK listings, the art features early concept art of Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo (unsurprisingly, he looks like Han Solo) and several new vehicles and ships.
Although the veracity of the leak has yet to be fully confirmed — its swift removal from eBay might indicate that the art was real, but it could just as easily have been removed for being fake — one piece of art of a speeder is described as being used in exterior sequences for a location called “Nest”, which matches up to a recent report by Making Star Wars which claimed a location in the movie was called “Emlys Nest”. Head on over the links to see more.
