As fans await the release of Solo: A Star Wars Story, new details have dropped about the movie's villainous Enfys Nest.It has already been revealed that Alden Ehrenreich’s young Han Solo will be facing off against a masked villain, but the first trailer from Ron Howard's production gave only a glimpse of Nest in action. Alongside a name and a strong link to Star Wars Legends, the masked antagonist has been kept shrouded in mystery ahead of Solo's debut at the Cannes Film Festival -- until now.Related: Solo’s Edit Is ‘Locked,’ Says Director Ron HowardA new report from Star Wars News Net ties nicely with promo material and drops the bombshell that Nest is actually a woman, making her one of the few female villains in Star Wars' cinematic lore. Rumored to either be a Boba Fett-esque bounty hunter or a rival smuggler, she promises to cause big trouble for Han, Chewie and the rest of the Falcon crew. The translation from a French magazine describes nest as follows: "Enfys Nest, an extremely dangerous marauder, has quickly forged an infamous reputation for herself and her gang of pirates – the Cloud Riders.”

The trailer had already shown a group of enemy forces confronting Han, and it looks like the Cloud-Riders will pay some part in the storyline. Interestingly, the Cloud-Riders also appeared in the defunct Star Wars comics of the old continuity, further hyping up that Howard will be bringing back some forgotten history.

There isn't a closer look at Nest or any more information of her backstory, but the SWNN report suggests she could be played by English actor Lily Newmark. Other sources tell the site that Nest could be played by another actress (not listed on IMDb) who has also signed on for any potential sequels. If this is the case, Nest will be more than just a one-shot villain who is sent packing at the end of Solo.

Joining the ranks of Captain Phasma as a female Star Wars movie villain, it is a case of wait and see as to what is true and false about these latest reports. SWNN also suggests that Nest won't be the lead villain of Solo, but will instead serve as a secondary antagonist.
