Phil Lord and Chris Miller were recently fired from the Han Solo movie after creative differences in regards to the movie's style and tone caused big problems for Disney and Lucasfilm, but The Hollywood Reporter reveals today that Ron Howard has indeed been chosen to take over the helm of the spinoff.

The trade has some additional details on what happened behind the scenes, noting that Lord and Miller had been shooting for four and a half months (roughly three-quarters of principal photography) and that it's now going to be up to Howard to take charge of the project by shooting the final three and a half weeks and then five weeks of reshoots which have already been built into the movie's schedule.

Now, Howard is meeting with the actors "to soothe a rattled set and will pore over a rough edit to see what the project has and still needs." Apparently, he's "considered to be a safe choice to complete the task, someone who will more than ably finish the movie while being a calming presence on set."

Do you think Han Solo can be saved? As always, be sure to let us know your thoughts down below.

All my anticipation for this left with Lord and Miller, but Howard is a good, reliable choice to replace them.

Disney runs a tight ship. I don't blame them. One of the reasons I think their franchises work better than other studios is because there is a near seamless "aesthetic" from movie to movie. It has worked so far and I think it will work out for the Han Solo film.
