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.

Garrett-Hedlund

Garrett Hedlund is an actor we included in our Indiana Jones wishlist, and those same reasons land him a spot on this list as well. Hedlund has all of the qualities of a young Harrison Ford – from his looks to his devil-may-care stage presence – and already has a few cinematic rogues under his belt, from Inside Llewyn Davis‘ silent and brooding Johnny Five to the mack daddy of them all, On the Road‘s Dean Moriarty.

Hedlund also showed that he can handle himself on various green screen stages in Tron: Legacy, which also means that he’s already got his foot in the door at Disney. Now that Tron 3 has been cancelled, perhaps the House of Mouse will look to Hedlund – who did a pretty good job in the role of Sam Flynn – to take the wheel of another high-profile franchise instead.
