It has been revealed Michael K. Williams completed filming all of his scenes in the young Han Solo spinoff movie prior to Ron Howard taking over for the fired Phil Lord and Chris Miller.
Screen Rant shares that this week, the actor was forced to drop out of the project because the extensive reshoots it is currently undergoing conflicted with previous commitments he had on his agenda.
Variety reports that Williams had already filmed all of his scenes as a new character to the universe when Lucasfilm suddenly announced in June that it was replacing directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller with Ron Howard. The shake-up meant that Williams would need to re-shoot his scenes so that the anticipated spin-off could still meet its 2018 release date.
