Han Solo film NEW trailer: Watch it here first – Can Alden SAVE the Star Wars spin-off?

Fans are holding their breaths to see whether or not they should start a new backlash against Disney’s handling of their beloved Star Wars characters.

After firing the original directors last year, Ron Howard was brought in.

Teasers, trailer and promotional images have only started to surface this year, just months before the movie’s May release date, which is practically unheard of in Hollywood for a major blockbuster.

The first trailer went a long way towards reassuring fans that the spin-off was in safe hands but crucially did not give a very clear look at the leading man himself.

The release of the second (and expected to final) main trailer tonight is hoped to rectify that.

There have been endless rumours and reports from the set that the project was in trouble from the start.

As well as the furore surrounding the ousted directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller, there have been constant worrying whispers about the performnace of Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo.

Harrison Ford is an incredibly tough act to follow (or, in this case, preceed).

Can the new trailer prove that Disney and Lucasfilm picked the right man?

The first trailer showed hints that Alden has the charm and swagger but does he really have the chops to take on the mantle of one of cinema’s most iconic heroes? 

According to US sources like industry website Screen Rant, the latest Solo trailer will air on US TV tonight during ABC’s American Idol.

The show is on from 8-10pm Eastern Standard Time, which is 12-2am GMT in the early hours of Monday for UK fans.

Disney will be wanting to catch the young and teenage viewers so the trailer is more likely to air earlier on in the show.
