Alden Ehrenreich spoke at the IndieWire Studio at Sundance to promote his new film Fair Play and was asked about playing Han Solo in 2018’s Solo: A Star Wars Story, and if he’d be happy to return to the role.
With Ehrenreich in the Studio, IndieWire of course had to ask about his relationship to 2018’s “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” in which he took on the origin story of Han Solo, one of the “Star Wars” universe’s most iconic characters. While Ron Howard recently said that fans should not expect a sequel or follow-up of any kind from Lucasfilm, Ehrenreich said he’s open to reprising the role.
“The story that I did, I really got to be Han Solo at the end. That’s kind of the arc of the story, which I thought was well done. That’s the fun part. That’s the guy that’s the most fun to be. I’d be very happy to, but who knows,” Ehrenreich said.
Fair Play premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival and is currently seeking US distribution.
