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.

Chris Pratt

Speaking of Jurassic World, another dinosaur disaster survivor who could pilot the Millenium Falcon is Chris Pratt. Yes, Pratt’s name has been tossed around quite a bit in the fan community for roles like Solo and Indiana Jones, and while we wrote a whole post about actors who should play the adventurous archaeologist instead of Pratt, there’s no denying that he’d be great in the part of a young Harrison Ford.

After all, Pratt practically is a young Harrison Ford – he’s swiftly become one of the biggest movie stars on the planet, following some smaller TV work in shows like Parks and Recreation, and already showed his roguish charms behind the controls of a starfighter in Guardians of the Galaxy. 

He may be too big a star for the role – especially with big projects like more Guardians and Avengers films as well as Jurassic World sequels on the horizon – but he deserves a nod on this list nonetheless.
