Ron Howard, the director of Solo: A Star Wars Story, wished fans a happy New Year with a fresh behind-the-scenes teaser image from the upcoming Han Solo prequel standalone film.
He captioned the photo "We're pretty pumped for 2018," which would make sense considering Solo flies into theaters in May of this year.
With just a few months left until Solo: A Star Wars Story hits theaters, we can expect Disney and Lucasfilm to begin a more official marketing campaign in the coming weeks. There's a lot of questions and skepticism surrounding Solo, mostly stemming from production rumors, so a trailer will certainly be welcomed by fans who may be on the fence for a prequel movie about our famous smuggler.
Howard's teaser image follows a leaked magazine issue containing some new plot details that tease "a different Solo" than the one we are used to from the original trilogy. Whether this new Han Solo, played by actor Alden Ehrenreich, will resonate with fans remains to be seen.
Solo: A Star Wars Story hits theaters May 25, 2018.
