Howard and Bettany previously worked together on the Oscar-winning film A Beautiful Mind and, according to /Film, he’s taken over the role Michael K. Williams was forced to give up due to scheduling.

Williams was playing a “half-human, half-animal in the film” which, if it is indeed the same role, sounds right for Bettany. He, of course, is well-known these days for playing the equally confused Vision in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The, yes, still untitled Han Solo movie opens in the US 25 May 2018.
