After creative differences reared their head, Solo said goodbye to the movies original directors (Phil Lord and Chris Miller) and Ron Howard stepped in to helm the project.
And, according to The Guardian, reports that Ehrenreich needed on-set acting lessons dont help the films chances of winning over critics, either.
Solo released its first trailer the day after the Super Bowl, revealing few details about the films plot. The film occurs sometime between the events of Revenge of the Sith and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
