It’s been a bannner year for Alden Ehrenreich, with roles in the near-billion dollar grossing Oppenheimer ($950,670,582 and counting), Netflix film Fair Play and the critically acclaimed Cocaine Bear, but in this part of the galaxy we not only continue to look back fondly on his time in the Star Wars galaxy as Han Solo in Solo: A Star Wars Story but cross our fingers that he returns to the role in the Lando film, whenever that arrives. In the meantime, Ehrehreich looks back at Solo and how different the process ultimately was to what he expected when he originally signed on for directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller.
“I loved the original spirit of how they wanted to make (Solo), and I did it because it was this great platform from which I could do my own thing. But what I realized at that point is: I hadn’t built my own thing enough to be able to do it… I knew that I didn’t know myself in that way yet, and that takes a certain amount of time and effort and failure in its own kind of enclosed way. That’s what I spent that time doing.”
