“Han Solo: A Star Wars Story” star Alden Ehrenreich; Gregg DeGuire/WireImage(NEW YORK) — And the name of the forthcoming Han Solo stand-alone movie is — wait for it — Solo: A Star Wars Story.
Director Ron Howard revealed the name in a video posted to his Twitter. He begins by announcing production has wrapped on the film, and thanking the cast and crew for their work.
