Thousands of hopefuls have tried, are trying and will still try to fill Harrison Ford's iconic Han Solo intergalactic boots. What does it take to be the new young Han Solo? The bare minimum is that the actor should be in his late teens to early 20s. But the producers have a gold mine of exceptional talents to choose from.
Here are 10 potentials who have already auditioned for this coveted role in Disney's yet-to-be titled 'Star Wars' spin-off for 2018. Do you see them getting picked for this Han Solo movie?
Colton Haynes
Loud yeses almost resound over this potential because the public loves Colton Haynes in MTV's 'Teen Wolf', 'Arrow' and 'San Andreas'.
Chandler Riggs
Would Chandler Riggs keep his mojo without the sheriff's hat he's always got on in 'The Walking Dead'? He's definitely outgrown the annoying-kid-Carl-Grimes phase and is becoming a much more interesting character to watch. So, yes, as a super young Han Solo Chandler can be a serious contender.
Nick Robinson
The question is: would Nick Robinson even have the time? 'Jurassic World' has a new installment in the offing while 'The 5th Wave' has two. His work in these two titles plus 'The Kings Of Summer' prove he's got the skills to hold viewer interest.
Rami Malek
'Mr. Robot' has got Rami Malek's cult following on tenterhooks. He also has his previous work in 'Night At The Museum', 'The Master' and 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2' in his resume. He'd definitely bring more than brawn and killer one-liners into the mix. Many seem to root for Rami.
Dave Franco
Seen in such projects as 'Superbad', '21 Jump Street', 'Now You See Me', 'Unfinished Business', Dave Franco has serious chops to dish out Han Solo's funnies.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson
Aaron Taylor-Johnson's performances in 'Kick-Ass', 'Godzilla', 'Savages', and 'Avengers: Age Of Ultron' absolutely show huge promise and with the right direction may figure well.
Miles Teller
With the diverse genres of 'Whiplash', 'Divergent', 'The Spectacular Now' and 'Fantastic Four' Miles Teller showcased quite an impressive acting and comedic range. Is he the total package?
Tom Felton
Can Draco Malfoy transition to Han Solo? That would be a truly interesting unfolding to behold, if it actually happens. Tom Felton's no slouch with his performances in 'Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes', 'The Apparition', 'Murder In The First' and - yes - 'Harry Potter'.
Logan Lerman
Would Logan Lerman be a surprising choice? Some say yes, some say he's a shoo-in. Take the weekend to re-watch him in '10 To Yuma', 'The Perks Of Being A Wallflower', 'Percy Jackson & The Olympians' and 'Fury'.
Ansel Elgort
Ansel Elgort is able to prove his diversity and range then maybe he can make the producers see him as more than the really good drama talent he's been in 'Divergent', 'Carrie','The Fault In Our Stars' and 'Men, Women & Children'.
