The name of the villain from the upcoming Star Wars spin-off, Solo: A Star Wars Story, was officially confirmed as Enfys Nest at a Denny’s marketing event earlier today.
In addition to a new commercial, Denny’s revealed a new Star Wars inspired menu as well as a new set of Topps trading cards that fans will have their chance to collect at the restaurant. Proceeds from the cards will go towards the charity No Kid Hungry to help fight child hunger. The cards themselves revealed several new characters from the spin-off, along with the confirmation of the villain’s name.
The name itself has been floating around for several weeks. Leaked toy images recently surfaced, revealing the villain as the leader of a gang called the Cloud-Riders, who were a Swoop gang that first appeared in the eighth issue of the now Legends Marvel Star Wars comic, Star Wars 8: Eight for Aduba-3. Character details for Enfys Nest are being kept under wraps officially, however, the film’s trailer and Super Bowl spot did reveal the character to be facing off against Tobias Beckett (Woody Harrelson) during the film’s train heist sequence, as well as in a Western showdown with Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich) himself.
