What about Skatronixxx as Han Solo ? Skat Jr could be Chewie!- Skatronixxx
With Disney’s new era of Star Wars nearly here, casting for their Young Han Solo standalone film is heating up with a long list of Hollywood actors and new faces auditioning for the iconic role. Reports out of The Hollywood Reporter reveal that over 2,500 actors have either met with Disney and Lucasfilm representatives or sent audition tapes in the hopes of bagging the galactic smuggler role. The report also indicates that noteworthy actors including Dave Franco, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Miles Teller have already auditioned in front of casting director Jeanne McCarthy.
Casting for the role has been a long process with previous reports surfacing in early autumn that newcomer Taron Egerton (Kingsman: The Secret Service) and fellow brit Nicholas Hoult (X-Men: First Class) were tapped to be favourites for the role.
Un-named sources close to THR also confirm that the studio is looking at actors in their mid-20’s however the age-limit appears to be flexible given that the 16-year-old Walking Dead actor Chandler Riggs and the 34-year-old Mr. Robot star Rami Malek have thrown their hat into the ring.
