10 Actors Who Could Play A Young Han Solo In The Upcoming Star Wars Spinoff

This week, the surprising news broke that The LEGO Movie and 21 Jump Street helmers Phil Lord and Chris Miller would be taking on a Star Wars Anthology film centering around a young Han Solo. Not much is yet known about the project - though it's been reported that it is not the same film as the rumored Boba Fett/Han Solo movie Josh Trank was supposed to direct - but the talent behind it and subject matter are enough to get any Star Wars fan excited.

Depending on how far back the Indiana Jones reboot goes, Anton Yelchin could play a great, younger Indy.  The Star Trek and Terminator: Salvation alum already knows how to handle a franchise role, but hasn't yet managed to acquire leading man status. If Disney wants to go for a lesser-known actor for such an iconic role as Indy,  I would definitely recommend Yelchin.

Anton Yelchin is another actor we included in our Indiana Jones feature, and we feel that he deserves a spot on this list as well. After all, the Star Trek alum has already shown that he can handle himself on board a high speed spaceship and managed to navigate himself through the heavily damaged U.S.S. Enterprise in Star Trek Into Darkness despite the fact that he’d donned a red shirt, which is almost always a death sentence in that universe. That kind of survival instinct will come in handy if young Han Solo is to make the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs.

Despite key parts in franchises like Star Trek and Terminator: Salvation, Yelchin has yet to achieve leading man status. Still, he’s turned in one memorable performance after another, and is the kind of young, charismatic, extremely talented actor that a film like this Han Solo spinoff needs.
