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.

Another young actor who could handle himself next to a young Chewbacca is up-and-comer Jack Kilmer. Kilmer has only starred in a handful of projects (one of which, Palo Alto, also starred Nat Wolff), but has shown enough promise to earn a spot on our list.

Most recently, his acting chops were on full display in The Stanford Prison Experiment, where he was able to stand out amongst bigger names like Ezra Miller, Mad Men‘s James Wolk, Tye Sheridan, Billy Crudup and Michael Angarano.

As we mentioned before, the role of Han Solo would perhaps best to go an unknown, which worked well for Harrison Ford back in 1977. No actor on this list fits that bill better than Kilmer.
