Just two days after the sudden departure of Chris Miller and Phil Lord from the Han Solo movie, Lucasfilm has found their replacement.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ron Howard has officially accepted the position and will finish the film.
From THR:
Howard, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter, will meet with the actors — Alden Ehrenreichis playing the iconic smuggler, Donald Gloveris playing Lando Calrissian, with Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke and Thandie Newton also on the roll call — to soothe a rattled set and will pore over a rough edit to see what the project has and still needs.
