‘Disney’ Shortlists Actors For Their Young ‘Han Solo’ Movie

Disney has narrowed down the search for their Young Han Solo after a number of Actors screen tested for the role last weekend in London.

Amongst the combatants vying for the part are a few homegrown talents including Skins star Jack O’Connell, Transformers 4 hero Jack Reynor and Kingsman leading man Taron Egerton. Who interestingly lost out to The Force Awakens‘ John Boyega for the Rising Star Award at the BAFTAS last month.

The Hollywood Reporter noted that a handful of American hopefuls have also been included in the list with Blake Jenner (Glee) and Hail, Cesar! actor Alden Ehrenreich – who is currently winning critics over in the Coen Brothers directed comedy – are amongst the favourites.

Skatronixxx reported last week that the Young Han Solo won’t be alone in his adventures, as faithful Wookie companion Chewbacca will return for the Origin story.

So the lucky leading man better get use to acting alongside a Temperamental-Space-Bear when filming starts January next year.
