Solo: A Star Wars Story is going to be "a lot more fun" than the other Star Wars films, according to Lando Calrissian star Donald Glover.

Talking to ET, Glover opened up about the Han Solo spinoff movie, where he revealed: "I think it's just a lot more fun.

"All the Star Wars are really fun, but I think this movie, we know what's going to happen, we know they're not going to die, y'know?

"We know, kind of, what happens, but how we got there, I guess, is the crux of it. So we're allowed to have a lot more fun than I think the other movies where you have to deal with a lot of the lineage in what's going to happen."

He added: "I think this movie's, like, just a fun, summer film. I'm really excited about it. It's really cool."

Previously, however, Han Solo star Alden Ehrenreich said Star Wars' latest instalment is going to set a different kind of tone to its predecessors – with a grittier backstory to Han Solo than we might have expected.

"One of the fun things about this movie but also one of the things that really shapes him is that it takes place in a real dark underworld of the Star Wars universe," he explained.

In the prequel, Han has to manoeuvre himself through "planets and environments as well that are tough in different ways", according to Alden.

"I think with anyone you meet in these tough worlds, trust doesn't come easily, and both of them are very strong-willed," he hinted.

So, er, which one is it!?

Solo: A Star Wars Story will hit cinemas on May 25.
