Solo : A Star Wars Storyco - author Jonathan Kasdan confirm Anthony Ingruber auditioned for the role of Han Solo during the casting process . When Lucasfilm first announced the spinoff in 2015 , Ingruber prove to be a pop plectron for Han amongst fans due to his Harrison Ford imprint that pass viral on YouTube . The actor even portrayed a young variation of Ford ’s character in the 2015 filmThe Age of Adaline , so there was precedent . However , the part went to Alden Ehrenreich , who coincidentally was the first one ( of a reported 2,500 ) to try out .
Ehrenreich ’s performance as a more idealistic and optimistic Han has drawn extolment in many circle , though there are still some that do not buy him as the iconic moon-curser . For all his talent , Ehrenreich neither looks nor sound very much like Ford . Ingruber does bear some resemblance to theStar Warslegend , which is why there was a campaign for him to be cast inSolo . And while things did n’t work out for Ingruber , he still get an opportunity to try out .

Kasdan study to Twitter to respond to a substance abuser ’s remark that Lucasfilm does not listen to the fans ( citing the studio apartment disregard the demand for Ingruber ) , unveil that Ingruber did trial run for Han for originalSolodirectors Phil Lord and Chris Miller , but obviously came up short :
The most authoritative aspect of cast untested Han wasfinding somebody who could embody the emotional state of the character , not necessarily do a spot - on Ford impersonation ( which wouldrun the risk of slew into parody ) . This may have give Ehrenreich the edge over his contest . For all the doubts the great unwashed had - specially when reports about act as coaches come out - the youngster manage to evoke the classic Solo characteristics and put his own stamp on the part . His well - rounded bout made eventhe curmudgeonly Ford positively giddy aboutSolo , which is a ringing indorsement that should rock the naysayer . Ford seldom raves about anything ( including his own projects ) , but he went out of his way to divvy up his thoughts on Ehrenreich to Ron Howard .
This revelation plausibly wo n’t sit well withSolodissenters who are still disgruntled about Ingruber , but the fact rest Lucasfilm did not take the responsibility ofSolocasting lightly . More than anyone , they understood the magnitude of what they were doing by asking someone to follow Ford ’s footsteps and pull out out all the stops to get the somebody they felt was the best choice . Ehrenreich may not be Harrison Ford 2.0 , but he is Han , sliding comfortably into the part as he bring raw lifespan to an icon of pop culture . It remains to be learn if Ehrenreich will be back for sequels , but he hit the scrape withSolo , which was his great run .
