Could there be another Han Solo? Well according to Disney' plans for future star wars movies, there has to be … and they found him! It seems that Alden Ehrenreich will be the next to wear the leather vest.
Disney has reportedly finally found a young Han Solo for a "Star Wars" spinoff scheduled to hit the cinemas in May 2018.
US actor Alden Ehrenreich will play starship pilot Han Solo in an upcoming stand-alone Star Wars movie, several media reports said on Friday.
Ehrenreich takes over from Harrison Ford, 73, the original Han Solo who made the scruffy-looking character famous in the blockbuster Star Wars trilogy from the 80s. The role of Han Solo catapulted the actor to stardom.
Screen tests had narrowed down the field of hopefuls, including Taron Egerton, Jack Reynor,Scott Eastwood and Logan Lerman, for the coveted role of Han Solo in the stand-alone movie in the Star Wars universe.
No stranger to Hollywood
Ehrenreich, 26, appeared in Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine, had a co-leading role in the comedy Hail, Caesar! and was cast in a lead role in Warren Beatty’s untitled Howard Hughes project, expected to be aired later this year. He is currently in production on The Yellow Birds.
The stand alone Han Solo film, expected to delve into Solo’s life before he hooked up with the rebel alliance, is currently in preproduction under Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, directors of "The Lego Movie." – dw.com
Did they forget his role in 'Beautiful Creatures?' I kinda did, too.
Does this mean that Ehrenreich will be our next Indiana Jones as well?
Or will Disney give that to another young stallion to make his own?
Would you like to see him do both roles?
Or should we wait and see how well he does with this one?
