This, of course, is an over-the-top impression, done a decade ago when he was a teenager. For a feature-length film, his performance would have to be considerably more subtle and refined. I don't think any of us would want to see two hours of a caricature. But he's got all the raw materials--looks, height, age, voice--to deliver an amazing performance as a young-adult Solo. The Age of Adeline didn't provide us with an extended look at him, but he dialed it back perfectly, and there was enough on screen to show me he could do it for two hours like no one else on this planet.
What a crying shame they don't give AF.

Well, he would have access to plenty of acting coach`s to get that toned down thing down pat.

My feelings exactly.
To be clear, the impression is a cool party trick and not what sold me on Ingruber, "Age of Adeline" was.

It's Just my humble opinion, but Ingruber's combination of "smirk with worried eyebrows" aping of Harrison Ford would not hold me for 2 hours. All he is missing is the exaggerated "Harrison Ford finger pointing" schtick. He is a talented impressionist for sure.
That routine is perfect for a 5 minute stand-up comedy gig, or 10 minute cameo appearance, but not for a movie.
Imagine a new "Star Trek" with an actor simply aping Shatner as Kirk for 2 hours....no thanks.
Give me an actor with their own unique interpretation.

It was pointed out by other members that it was a poor example to use as it was from so long ago and his shtick was unpolished. Had I used a clip from Age of Adeline it may have been a more polished example, that was my bad.
Unfortunately I cant really give an appropriate example of Alden Ehrenreich`s ability to pull off the role as there is absolutely nothing been made available to do so. From all the reports of the problems he is having. I still would go with the initial clip over that. I doubt that there will be more than an hour of screen time for him.

Or people can look it up for themselves as the film has been mentioned a few times.
Here is Anthony playing the younger version of Harrison Ford's character in, The Age of Adeline. As you can see, he plays Ford with far more refinement and subtlety, than that decade-old cantina impression. He would've been brilliant as a young Han Solo.

It's criminal they passed him over.

I agree that he's MUCH more bearable in Adeline... but while he looks and sounds like Harrison Ford there, he doesn't look and sound like Han Solo. They're not the same thing. That's a romantic drama, and he can go subtle and understated in that arena. He barely makes any expressions. Throw him into tense situations with monster aliens and laser blasters firing in every direction and heated situations and "subtle" doesn't fly anymore. Harrison never played Han as downtempo as that Adeline character, and of course Han will be under pressure start to finish in this flick. That unbearable shtick would have come out again real quick.

Well they'd be able to show Ingruber's feet during one of those action scenes without digital alteration.

If they're able to give Ehrenreich emergency acting lessons, there's no reason Ingruber couldn't have had acting lessons and coaches well prior to filming - if they were needed at all.
You hit it right on the head. I don't want a cheap parlor trick of a Harrison Ford impression that Inbooger does. I want to see someone ACT like Han Solo.
