Deadline broke the news on the Cannes premiere for Solo: A Star Wars Story.
The May 25, 2018 release date also marks the 41st anniversary of the very first Star Wars movie, A New Hope, hitting theaters.
With 50 days and some change left until Solo hits theaters, fans attending the prestigious Cannes Film Festival will be among the first to see it.
Solo: A Star Wars story is still expected to fare quite well at the box office, but it may be the first Star Wars movie in four years that doesn’t end up as the top-grossing movie of the year, with many expecting Avengers: Infinity War to take that crown.
