The unofficial shortlist to play a young Han Solo in Disney’s prequel Star Wars film includes:
- Miles Teller
- Ansel Elgort
- Dave Franco
- Jack Reynor
- Scott Eastwood
- Logan Lerman
- Emory Cohen
- Blake Jenner
I however would have preferred actor Anthony Ingruber to play this role as he does killer impersonations of Han Solo on his YouTube channel, and he does look like a young Harrison Ford! NDAs and test deals are still being worked out, but producer Kathleen Kennedy and directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller will begin testing the new group with a decision expected in the next couple of weeks. The film doesn’t start shooting until January next year, but according to sources the reason for making a decision so early is because the new Han Solo may appear in a cameo role for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story which is currently filming.
The untitled picture is set to open on May 25, 2018.
