Unfortunately for fans, the social media post didn’t show much, if anything at all.
“Cool scene today,” Howard posted alongside a picture of a floor on set.”But I’m afraid this is the most revealing image I dare share from my 1st day on the set of the Untitled Han Solo movie.”
Howard joins the production of the latest Star Wars movie after the original directors — Phil Lord and Christopher Miller — were reportedly fired over creative differences with the studio.
