Unlike with most Star Wars movies, Lucasfilm has gone to great lengths to give fans as little information as possible about the villain of Solo: A Star Wars Story.

It was only through some marketing material that we learned that the Big Bad of Solo is a woman and is named Enfys Nest. Anything beyond that comes from speculation, especially since Enfys Nest wears a metallic visor in every teaser released thus far.

The mystery around the villain's identity has led us to believe that her reveal will be a huge part of Solo, with many speculating that Enfys Nest might actually be Emilia Clarke's character Qi'ra in disguise.

A new clip from Solo seemingly rules that possibility out by having Enfys Nest and Qi'ra facing off as a battle looms between Han's allies and Enfys's raiders. Take a look below:

Now, we caveated that this clip seemingly rules out Qi'ra and Enfys Nest as being one in the same only because it's at least theoretically possible that Qi'ra could take up the mantle from another person as Enfys Nest later in the movie.

While making the blockbuster, Emilia Clarke acknowledged that Lucasfilm's media strategy for the film could be used to throw fans off the scent of the film's real secrets.

"No-one knows anything. No-one is told anything. It's all crazy," she admitted. "It's a secret from the cast. We generally can't be trusted. They pretty much have told us so."

Who is Enfys Nest? We'll find out soon enough…

Solo: A Star Wars Story will be released in cinemas on May 24 in the UK and May 25 in the US. Book tickets now.
