Ehrenreich Deserves Another Shot After Solo Flopped
Starring Bridgerton’s Dynevor and Ehrenreich, Fair Play was a smash hit at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival. The film explores the story of a young couple whose relationship takes a dark turn after an unexpected promotion at a ruthless hedge fund. Joining the cast are Rich Sommer, Eddie Marsan, Sebastian de Souza, and Geraldine Somerville.Solo: A Star Wars Story was supposed to be the project that made Ehrenreich a movie star, but instead, the troubled film put an abrupt halt to his career, causing him to disappear for five years. In addition to Ehrenreich's performance, Solo faced numerous issues, including the firing of its original directors Lord and Miller, and extensive reshoots with Ron Howard taking over the director's role. Now that the Ehrenreich-aissance appears to be in full swing, it will be captivating to see which projects the actor decides to pursue as he tries to recover from the significant setback that Solo brought.
Cocaine Bear and Oppenheimer presented excellent opportunities for Ehrenreich, who had returned from the unsuccessful Solo project with minor parts. Fair Play, on the other hand, places Ehrenreich in a leading role, with the film's narrative primarily centered around him and his co-star Dynevor. Should Ehrenreich deliver a powerful performance in this compelling drama, it is possible that the persistent negative perception surrounding his career will fade away, paving the way for more prominent leading roles to come his way.
