While talking to Entertainment Weekly, Emilia shed some light on what to expect from her character in the upcoming film Solo: A Star Wars Story.
“She has a couple of guises, but essentially she is just fighting to stay alive,” the Game of Thrones’ star said. “If you’ve got a really glamorous lady in a really sordid environment, you kind of know the glamor is hiding a few rough roads.”
