Christian Bale wants a role in Star Wars. Bale has revealed that he was in talks to star in the upcoming spin-off movie 'Solo: A Star Wars Story' after being contacted by Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy, whom he worked with previously on Steven Spielberg's 1987 coming-of-age war film 'Empire of the Sun'. He didn't take up a role in the Han Solo-focused prequel. But Bale would love to be part of the sci-fi saga in the future.
