Harrisson Ford wanted the Han Solo character to ‘sacrifice himself’
The film is expected to earn at least £1.3 billion (~$1.9 billion USD), so that means that the actor’s share could be worth £6.5 million (~$9.6 million USD), thereby netting Ford approximately £23 million (which is equivalent to $34 million USD after current pound to dollar conversion). Ford, explaining why he wanted the smuggler to die in the original trilogy, “It was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…” On Monday, the Daily Mail released a report that Ford earned $25 million to come back and while insiders stress that number is too high, they do confirm Solo earned a substantially bigger cut than his co-stars. The source also said that while they could have done the film without Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher, they couldn’t have done it without Harrison Ford.
