On May 25, the second stand-alone film in the Disney era of Star Wars hits theaters. “Solo: A Star Wars Story” has been shrouded in mystery for the better part of a year after directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller got booted from the project and replaced by Hollywood staple Ron Howard. Following the swap, reshoots of the film, rumors from on-set of a looming box office catastrophe, and damaging reports of a poor performance by Alden Ehrenreich (taking up the fabled role of Han Solo made famous by Harrison Ford) — fans and industry insiders have been unnerved by the delay in marketing for “Solo.”
On Monday, that wait came to an end with the release of the first theatrical trailer, starring Alden Ehrenreich and Donald Glover as the ever sly Lando Calrissian. Ready or not, we are getting a Han Solo origin story.
