We may finally get to see the trailer for theHan Solo moviethis week after Ron Howard told a fan on social media that the release was coming soon. Rumors have suggested that the trailer will make its debut this Friday, January 12th, onGood Morning America. Excitement for theStar Warsspin-off movie has finally started to gain some momentum after the release ofThe Last Jediand even fans who were not into the idea of a young Han Solo movie are starting to come around. We’re still 5 months away from the movie hitting theaters, which means that it’s the right time to see some footage from theSolo: A Star Wars Story.
Ron Howard recently answered a fan’s question on Twitter asking about when the trailer for theHan Solomovie was going to drop. Howard’s answer was short and straight to the point, which for anyone who’s been following the production of the movie knows, this isn’t always the case. Howard had this to say.
“Hang in there. Now that Ep 8 is out there it won’t be long.”
The director even used a smiley face, which is pretty weird to think about him doing. Nevertheless, it means that the trailer for theHan Solomovie is coming soon and possibly even this week.
Before Ron Howard’s tweet last night, Star Wars Legacy tweeted out that the trailer forSolowill premiere this Friday, January 12th, onGood Morning America. More than likely learning from Mark Hamill’s mistake of confirming a leak about a trailer release, Howard was less specific about the trailer’s premiere.Good Morning Americawas also used to premiere the very first trailer forRogue Oneand is usually a go to place for Disney to make announcements and share trailers. The record breaking trailer forAvengers: Infinity Warmade its debut on the program late last year as well.
Ron Howard has been doing a tremendous job cryptically promoting the movie bysharing random picturesfrom the set while also saying farewell to the actors once they exit the production. However, Lucasfilm is going to have to work to properly promote the movie. Promotion is going to have to convince hardcoreStar Warsfans who followed the production that this movie won’t end up like Warner Bros.' disastrousJustice Leagueafter Ron Howard came in and took over from Phil Lord and Chris Miller. In addition, Lucasfilm is going to have to try and get some of the casual moviegoers into the theater to check out anotherStar Warsspin-off movie.
Solo: A Star Wars Storyis set tohit theaters on May 25th, which is just right around the corner. As usual, Lucasfilm has done a rock solid job keeping theproduction secretsunder wraps and we still haven’t even seen an official picture of Alden Ehrenreich as young Han Solo yet. That is a pretty amazing feat right there. Hopefully that mystery will come to an end this week. you may check out some teasing of theHan Solomovie trailer below, courtesy ofRon Howard’s Twitteraccount.
