Trailer For Solo: A Star Wars Story Likely To Be Released This Week
Another rumour has been reported that the trailer for Solo: A Star Wars Story is coming out later this week.
Lucasfilm hasn’t released any marketing materials yet for the movie. That development could likely be attributed to the studio wishing to keep the focus on The Last Jedi, but it has made people concerned about Solo‘s potential quality.
Twitter account Star Wars Junk shared info from a source at AMC corporate, saying the Solo trailer is scheduled to be placed with this week’s Maze Runner: The Death Cure. It’s expected the preview will be released online a couple days prior, with Wednesday, January 24 being the most likely.
