WithRon Howard’sSolo: A Star Wars Storynow playing in theaters, I recently sat down withAlden Ehrenreichfor a video interview. He talked about what people would be surprised to learn about the making of the train sequence, deleted scenes, what he took home from set, what’s a day he’ll always remember from makingSolo, and how the first person he told about landing the iconic role couldn’t keep it secret.
As most of you know, Solo takes place before the first Star Wars movie and follows a young Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich) as he befriends his future copilot Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo) and meets the notorious gambler Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover).Soloalso starsEmilia Clarke,Paul Bettany,Woody Harrelson,Joonas Suotamo,Thandie Newton,Phoebe Waller-Bridge, andJon Favreau.
