‘Star Wars’: 7 Actors Who Should Play Young Han Solo

There’s no questioning the fact that being cast in any of the new 

hasn’t even been released yet, and already it’s made John Boyega and Daisy Ridley into recognizable names. No role within the 

universe has seen more demand though than that of young Han Solo, set to lead Phil Lord and Christopher Miller’s “Anthology” movie releasing in 2018. Already, Disney has auditioned a whopping 2,500

actors for the title role, with virtually every dark-haired white actor in their 20s and 30s lining up to screen test.

the ideal age for the young Han Solo is somewhere in his mid-20s. It’s not hard for most men in the industry to play to this age if they’re anywhere within 5 to 6 years of their 25th birthday in either direction. Because of this, it’s left the door wide open, with one agent telling THR

that “this has been the easiest movie to audition for,” namely because “they are seeing everyone.” Among this bunch, who 

be assuming the iconic mantle? We have some thoughts on that.

He may not look much like a young Harrison Ford, but there’s no denying Miles Teller’s acting chops. He’s made a career of playing over-confident smart-talking characters, and that alone makes him eminently qualified to don the black vest of Han Solo. At 28, he’s at the upper end of the age spectrum for the role, but that’s not too much of an issue as long as he can act the hell out of the role. If 

is any indicator, Teller can more than handle the stress of an intense part.
