It seems the search for a young Han Solo is reaching the final stages, as reports are coming in that the Phil Lord and Christopher Miller-helmed Star Wars prequel may have narrowed down a final shortlist.
According to THR, tests were conducted in London last weekend and actors Alden Ehrenreich (Hail, Caesar!), Jack Reynor (Transformers: Age of Extinction), and Taron Egerton (Kingsman, Eddie the Eagle) emerged as front-runners. Plus, Variety adds that Blake Jenner (Glee) and Jack O'Connell (Starred Up, Unbroken) are also in contention.
Apparently a few other names may also be on the list, but they remain under wraps for now.
