Part 3/9:
The Battle for Maul in Solo
One of the most contentious claims from Witwer concerns his influence over Darth Maul's portrayal in Solo: A Star Wars Story. He contends that he pushed for his involvement, even going as far as "putting his foot down" to ensure he was cast in the film’s brief cameo appearance as Maul. According to him, he initially offered to step aside but argued passionately that the character belonged to him due to his longstanding connection.
