More new footage continues to be released to promoteSolo, each one giving a new look at Alden Ehrenreich and Donald Glover in the roles of young Han Solo and Lando Calrissian, respectively. Glover has been a fan-favorite from the start, while it has taken some getting used to forStar Warsfans towarm up to Ehrenreich. At first, there were complaints that there wasn’t enough of the actor in the initial trailers and TV spots, but that has changed drastically over the course of the last several months, boosting confidence for Ehrenreich’s performance.
