Solo Writer Wants Alden Ehrenreich To Return For Star Wars Spin-Off
In an interview withComicBook, Kasdan shared his thoughts about making the sequel happen and how he wants to bring Ehrenreich back into the scene.
“The reason for a Solo 2 is if there’s a great reason and certainly, I’d be game if there was…there were so many great characters we were able to establish, and for me, the strongest argument for a Solo 2 is the movie was Alden’s journey to owning that mantle, and by the end of it I thought he really did, and he didn’t get the fun of getting to just inhabit it for a movie, so I’d love to see him back.”
Solo: A Star Wars Storywas released in May 2018 withAlden Ehrenreichin the starring role, a younger version of Harrison Ford’s Han Solo. Kasdan generously praised the current progress of the franchise, the success of theAndorseries, and the invaluable efforts thatJon Favreauand Dave Filoni have contributed to the triumph of theStar Warsnarrative.

Lawrence Kasdan mentioned that he considered returning for the sequel as well, and he would pretty much prefer working on a film over a series. Fans would remember him for writingThe Empire Strikes Back,Return of the Jedi,Raiders of the Lost Ark,Solo, andThe Force Awakens.
The movie is quite well-known for having a troubled production that urged original directors Christopher Miller and Phil Lord to leave for reasons of creative differences. Ron Howard took over and reshot most parts of the film. The director also expressed his interest to return, but also noted that it is not his decision to make.
