If Han Solo is used in upcoming movies or shows, he should 100% be played by Alden Ehrenreich. Anyone who has seen Weapons, Hail Caesar, and especially Solo will know Ehrenreich is one of the most talented actors working today. To see him embody Han again would be amazing.
2000-2010 was such a great decade for franchise movies. Star Wars Episodes II-III, The Lord of the Rings 1-3, Pirates of the Caribbean 1-3, Harry Potter 1-9, Sam Raimi’s Spider Man trilogy, X-Men 1-3, The Bourne trilogy, Nolan’s first 2 Batman movies, and more. What a crazy run.
