Remember when they tried replacing Indiana Jones with Shia Lebouf? Notice how nobody wanted to see an Indy film without Harrison Ford as the star? Well, this time they’re trying it with Han Solo, although this time they’re taking no chances.
The Hollywood Reporter has reported that Disney have tested over 2500 actors, looking at a wide range of ages ‘Though sources say the “sweet spot” seems to be the mid-20s, the ages of the contenders span from Chandler Riggs, the 16-year-old star of The Walking Dead, to Hunter Parrish, 28, and Mr. Robot star Rami Malek, 34′
The article reveals a selection of the actors who have tested, including Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ansel Elgort, Dave Franco, Miles Teller, Nick Robinson, Landon Liboiron, Ed Westwick, Tom Felton, Joshua Sasse, Colton Haynes, Jack Reynor, Max Thieriot.
There are some well-known names on that list as well as some slightly less known, showing just how thorough they appear to be looking for their star. Plus that’s only a fraction of the full list, who knows what other names could be on there. Let’s just hope they find the right man to don the vest and blaster.
What do you think? Are there any names on the list you like? Any you would like to see on there? Let us know below!
