Kathleen Kennedy and Allison Shearmur are producing the feature, which is slated to hit theaters May 25, 2018.
The first Star Wars stand-alone, Rogue One, bowed over the holiday break and has earned $789 million at the global box office to date.
Harrelson, who played a mentor to Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss Everdeen in the Hunger Games franchise, was recently in theaters in STX's coming-of-age dramedy The Edge of Seventeen. The actor's upcoming credits include the adaptation of The Glass Castle and Fox's War for the Planet of the Apes.
Harrelson is repped by CAA.
