The currently untitled young Han Solo Star Wars Story film is reportedly down to seven possible cast members for the lead, Variety reports. Citing sources, but cautioning that no actor has so much as tested for the role yet, they say these actors are among "about a dozen" that will go further in the process: Miles Teller, Ansel Elgort, Dave Franco, Scott Eastwood, Jack Reynor, Logan Lerman, Emory Cohen, and Blake Jenner.

The actors who test for directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller and producer (and studio head) Kathleen Kennedy will have extensive NDAs as this story, telling the tale of Han Solo before he gets involved with the Rebel Alliance in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, will be a closely guarded secret. The only things current Star Wars canon has told us is that he was once in the Imperial Navy, he and Chewbacca have a longstanding friendship, and he won the Millennium Falcon from one Lando Calrissian.

Of the names listed above, some should be very familiar to ComicBook.com readers. Lerman was one of the reported finalists for the role of Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Miles Teller was in the box office disaster Fantastic Four last summer. He's also a star in the Divergent films, alongside Ansel Elgort, the youngest finalist (born in 1994). Most of the other actors are mid-80s babies. Franco has no action experience, but did voice a character in The Lego Movie for Lord and Miller. Blake Jenner has an interesting "degrees of separation" connection to the one, true Han Solo, Harrison Ford. Jenner is married to Melissa Benoist, who stars as the titular Supergirl, alongside Ford's wife Calista Flockhart on the CBS series.
