With the young(er) Han Solo spin off movie due to start shooting next January (for release in 2018) Disney and Lucasfilm apparently have a shortlist of actors that they are about to start screen testing. If the rumour mill is to be believed, the following young actors are up for serious consideration to be a scruffy looking, nerf herder.
Emory Cohen (Brooklyn), Scott Eastwood (The Longest Ride), Ansel Elgort (The Fault in Our Stars), Dave Franco (21 Jump Street), Blake Jenner (Everybody Wants Some), Logan Lerman (Fury), Jack Reynor (Transformers: Age of Extinction) and Miles Teller (Whiplash)
While me might be slightly biased here, we'd certainly be shouting for Jack Reynor, who in our esteemed opinions, is a huge front runner. He's certainly got the attitude and charisma of a young Harrison Ford and would fit the role of a younger Han Solo perfectly.
The pressure to find the new smuggler is on, as the by all accounts, the new Han Solo could very well be having a cameo in Rogue One (released this December)
Watch this space!
