This is a very different situation because Edgar Wright worked on Ant Man for eight years. Paul Rudd, Marvel and Disney didn't like his "take", so Rudd re-wrote it a few times, then rewrote it again with Adam McKay.
This film was written quite a while ago by Jake and Lawrence Kasdan. Kasdan certainly had a vision for the film, as did KK, but the confusing thing is the hire of Miller & Lord.
21 Jump Street, The Lego Movie, Son of Zorn, Last Man on Earth, etc. and so on really don't line up with Han Solo. They're talented guys but it always seemed like a weird pairing.
Anyway, the great thing is that KK isn't afraid to admit mistakes and will hire and fire at will. Josh Trank ate himself and was quickly dismissed. Tony Gilroy brought in a much needed sense of danger with his reshoots and rewrites to Rogue One.
Hopefully, they figure this out as well and it works. But I'm not so sure about Ron Howard because he seems a little "soft". And man, was his last film,
Inferno, a disaster. The book wasn't amazing or anything but it was certainly better than the film.
Blech.
