Re: Speculation: Hot Toys Star Wars Han Solo Action Figures
The frustrating things was, he wasn't bad as an actor. He was actually a non-pro (they saw him on youtube - they made a doc short about how they found him) and could have been great with more work and a great director.
Alden Ehrenreich just really wasn't great in "Hail Caesar" and tonally, that performance probably has a bit of what they are going for in the Solo movie. I think they went with him because he's currently one of the rising stars Hollywood is watching (that often flame out after a few movies.) He would be great for a James Dean biopic however.
Haha the more I talk about it, the more frustrated I get that they chose Alden Einenreinensheist or whatever his name is. The Age of Adaline guy would be aesthetically a better choice, and like you said, he could do well with more work and a great director. I just don't see any resemblance to HF with Alden.
