Confirming a rumor from back in July of 2016, actor Alden Ehrenreich, who will be making his debut in the GFFA as the titular lead in next month’s Solo: A Star Wars Story, has revealed in an interview with Esquire that he is currently signed on to portray our favorite smuggler Han Solo in three Star Wars films. Whether his Han will be the central character in these future films or involved in a cameo appearance obviously is unclear at this point, but we know for sure we’ll be seeing more of Alden as Han down the road.
In an interview for Esquire’s latest cover story, the actor let slip that he’s actually signed up for three movies. As Alex Pappademas writes:
He knows what he’s getting into. It’s a deeper commitment than just one movie. Even Ford couldn’t quit after just one. I ask Ehrenreich how many he’s signed up for. “Three,” he says, then flinches, understanding he may have just created a disturbance in the Force. “I don’t know if that’s officially, uh, public. But—yeah.” Anyway: Between auditions for Solo, Ehrenreich took a trip out to Death Valley. “I stayed in, like, a high-end tepee, which you can rent out there,” he says. “I’m making myself sound a lot more rugged than I actually am. I’m also getting green juices delivered to the tepee.”
