Actually sounds like a very nice supporting role. Hopefully his presence remains consistent through the film unlike Jupiter Ascending where his character becomes nothing after they leave the barn.
I am very much looking forward to this film. It will probably be the only Bean film this year that will garner both critical and commercial success!
On a side note - Mitch Henderson being compared to Han Solo, Stinger was also compared to Han Solo, put these together and come on... SEAN BEAN FOR STAR WARS
