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.

Liam McIntyre is another relative unknown with the charming smile of a young Han Solo. The Spartacus: Blood and Sand star has yet to get a foothold on the big screen, as his biggest cinematic role to date was in the critically derided The Legend of Hercules. 

McIntyre has shown his acting ability on television, however, as the lead of Starz’ aforementioned Spartacus series, on various Australian programs like Neighbours and Rush, and most recently as Weather Wizard on The Flash. 

Through those various roles, McIntyre has shown his antihero side and exercised his ability to handle both comedy and action, which is extremely important for the role of Star Wars‘ resident scruffy-looking nerf herder.
