Is This Our First Look At Alden Ehrenreich As The Titular Hero In SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY?
With extensive reshoots pretty much changing whatever Solo: A Star Wars Story was going to be, we've yet to see anything official from the spinoff but new merchandise may feature a major new reveal...
Making Star Wars has come across a photo they believe offers up a first look at Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo in the Ron Howard directed spinoff which is set to hit theaters next May (unless it's delayed due to the fact that Lucasfilm pretty much started from scratch after firing Phil Lord and Chris Miller). The question is, is this really what the Hail, Caesar! actor is going to look like as the young smuggler?
Quite possibly, yes, but it's hard to say whether or not this is an officially licensed piece of material. While it's feasible that the theater chain has used officially released promo art too early, that shot of Gamora is from Guardians of the Galaxy as opposed to Avengers: Infinity War and it definitely has something of a fan-made feel (especially as it features many 2018 releases and not just Disney ones).
Still, we've had bigger reveals from stranger places in the past and it's possible that this is our first real look at Solo: A Star Wars Story. After all, it's highly likely that we'll get a trailer with Star Wars: The Last Jedi next month! What do you think? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.
