Ford is reprising his role as Han Solo
Harrison
Ford sustained a bad ankle injury on the set of the newStar
Wars film Wednesday. Ford,
who is reprising his role as Han Solo in Star
Wars: Episode VII, was airlifted to a hospital after the incident,
according to a statement from Lucasfilm parent company Disney.
“He
was taken to a local hospital and is receiving care. Shooting will continue as
planned while he recuperates,” the statement reads.
The
71-year-old actor was on a set in England when a hydraulic door reportedly fell
on him, according to Variety.
Hopefully Ford heals quickly, since he’s booked to star
in two more Star
Wars films, a Blade
Runnersequel and Indiana
Jones 5—all action-packed franchises.
Star
Wars: Episode VII also stars
Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill from the original films, along with series
newcomers John Boyega, Oscar Isaac and Adam Driver. The J.J. Abrams-directed
film is set to premiere on December 18, 2015.
