Donald Glover has been pretty busy making the press rounds in recent months as a part of the lead up to the Season 2 of his outstanding FX comedy Atlanta, which means he's had a chance to talk about stepping into the Star Wars universe as the young Lando Calrissian. However, we haven't seen a whole lot from Alden Ehrenreich since he took on the iconic role of Han Solo for Lucasfilm's Solo: A Star Wars Story. We've glimpsed his take on the character in the film's first two trailers, and there's been plenty of reporting on the film's troubled production since Ron Howard took over as director last year, but we haven't head a lot from the new Han Solo himself.
The Star Wars Show just dropped a new video interview with Glover and Ehrenreich, and while it's certainly not a source of anything revelatory about the film, there are some fun details if you're eager for all things Solo. Ehrenreich talks about seeing Han at a younger, more idealistic and romantic stage in his life and discusses how the film's humor and character study set it apart from the other Star Wars films. Meanwhile, Glover is generally delightful and discusses how he responded to the news he got the role (spoiler: ordering a whole pizza and watching The Empire Strikes Back), why you do a better job if you're a fan of the original material, and digging into Lando's style.
Check it out in the interview below. Solo: A Star Wars Story also stars Emilia Clarke, Woody Harrelson, Thandie Newton, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and Paul Bettany, and hits theaters on May 25th.
