Welcome to the Legion!

A new shortlist reportedly reveals a few new names as potential candidates to play the young Han Solo. THR speculates that Taron Edgerton (Kingsmen: The Secret Service), Jack Raynor (Transformers: Age of Extinction) and Alden Ehrenreich (Hail, Ceasar!)  are in the final running for the role after over 2,500 actors have submitted interest. We’ve been eagerly waiting to find out just who directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord will settle on.

The new three were seen over this past weekend in London for screen tests but there is still a chance more actors were being seeing because of the level of secrecy. We’re still holding out hope for Ansel Elgort, who’s starring in Edgar Wright‘s next film, Baby Driver.  Actors once considered included the likes of Elgort,  Miles Teller and Dave Franco.

It really seems like they’re getting a few new names in who have recently been suggested. Disney hasn’t commented on whether these are really the final three as it seems likely that some of the other names may have made it to the next round of consideration.

Who do you want to see as Han Solo in the origin film? When do you think we’ll find out who finally gets the coveted role that Harrison Ford immortalized?
