Uni-versalEXTRAS was an extras agency on the Solo: A Star Wars Story feature film.

Continuing their prequel stories, Star Wars returns to the origin of one of its most unlikely heroes, Han Solo. Many of our extras may have known this production as it's codename 'Red Cup' (the brand responsible for the iconic red party drinks cup is 'Solo'). As well as providing extras and supporting artists, Uni-versalEXTRAS also supplied specialist roles including doubles for the likes of Alden Ehrenreich, Paul Bettany and Donald Glover, clothing test models, dancers and even some 7-foot creatures!

When watching Red Cup, keep your eyes peeled for...

Imperial Officers, Border Control, Space Port Recruits, Pilots, Landing Crew, Airport Civilians, Air Traffic Controller Factory Workers, Fleet Troopers, Mud Troopers, Vagrants, Punks, Hippies, Dreadlocks, Waiters, Goons and lots of Aliens!
