A new full-length trailer for "Solo: A Star Wars Story" dropped Sunday night, and it features plenty of new footage.
The trailer shows more of Alden Ehrenreich as the title character, a young Han Solo — a character made famous in the original "Star Wars" trilogy by Harrison Ford.
It also gives us more of Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian (who steals the show), and a better glimpse at the worlds and action audiences will witness during the movie (the Kessel Run, perhaps?). Also, there's probably a love interest for Chewbacca.
We've broken down the new trailer and highlighted its best moments and the questions it raises, from a sarcastic new droid to a look at Paul Bettany's villain.
"Solo" comes to theaters next month after a troubled production. Original directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller were fired over creative differences and replaced by veteran director Ron Howard, who, according to an actor in the film, made filming run a lot smoother.
Despite the obstacles, "Solo" not only kept its May 25 release date, but it's premiering at the Cannes Film Festival on May 15.
Below is our breakdown of the new "Solo: A Star Wars Story" trailer:
Han always shoots first.
It looks like Han Solo's shooting skills are going to be put to the test in this scene early in the trailer (and maybe early in the movie, since it doesn't look like any of other characters are with him yet). The trailer alludes to the idea that Han might be after these guys for revenge. Revenge for what?
Any time Donald Glover shows up is worth mentioning.
We can already tell that Donald Glover — who plays a young Lando Calrissian — is going to be a highlight in "Solo," and might even overshadow the title character. Glover steals the show in this new trailer.
"Or is it something else?"
"You're after something. Is it revenge? Money? Or is it something else?"
Emilia Clarke's character Qi'ra tells this to Han, and the voiceover for that last part is during this shot of Han and Chewbacca staring up at the Millennium Falcon. It's a nice signal that Han may be a smuggler, but in his heart, he's in it for the adventure more than vengeance or money.
