Now that Star Wars: The Force Awakens has proven to be a HUGE success, Disney is looking forward to the next films to take place in a galaxy far, far away.
While we know the next flick in the SW universe will be Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and then Star Wars: Episode VIII, the one after that will be a Han Solo spinoff movie!
But the big question is who will play the scruffy-looking nerf herder?!

The reported shortlist of actors in the running includes Miles Teller, Ansel Elgort, Dave Franco, Jack Reynor, Scott Eastwood, Emory Cohen, Blake Jenner, and Logan Lerman.
Unfortunately, we don’t know a whole lot more than the rumored names, but MTV News was lucky enough to catch up with Reynor and Lerman at the Sundance Film Festival to chat with them about the sci-fi part!
When asked about taking on the role made famous by Harrison Ford, Jack dished:
“We’re talking about Harrison Ford. He’s no chump. You can’t do an imitation. You can’t try and just emulate what that is. It’s got to be something new. It’s also got to be something that the audience is going to respond to.”
While that is a pretty respectable answer, it was Logan who seemed to understand the attitude of Han a bit more by saying he’d have no problem being a “d*ck” to get into character revealing:
“I don’t think I’d be intimidated. It would just be fun.”
That’s the space cowboy we know and love! Ch-ch-check out the full interviews (below)!
