Disney reveals its shortlist for a young Han Solo
To paraphrase a popular saying, there are only three things that are inevitable in this life: Death, taxes, and Disney making Star Wars movies until the Earth is nothing but a ball of ice orbiting around a dead sun, and possibly after that. This year’s exercise in massive hype followed by nerdy backlash, Rogue One, has already begun production, and according to a new report in Variety the company is also working on casting another Star Wars spin-off movie, Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s “Young Han Solo” prequel.
From a ridiculously wide pool of more than 2,500 hopefuls, Disney has reportedly assembled a shortlist of “about a dozen” actors. Here are the ones we know by name, ranked according to The A.V. Club’s extremely subjective criteria of perceived resemblance to Harrison Ford and overall roguishness:
Emory Cohen
He can wear the hell out of a mechanic’s jacket.
Miles Teller
We can kind of see it.
Ansel Elgort
This guy again? Okay, fine. That’s a pretty good smirk.
