10 Actors Who May Play Han Solo

Chris Pine Han Solo

Wouldn’t this just drive the fanboys insane? Not only does Abrams double-dip between Trek and Wars, but he rubs it in by tapping Captain Kirk to also play Captain Solo! Pine showed he can play the role by basically playing Captain Kirk as Han Solo in Star Trek (which was essentially a beat-for-beat Star Wars reboot). Plus, check out his dad — former “CHiPs” star Robert Pine — and tell us he doesn’t look like Ford.

Joseph-Gordon Levitt Han Solo

JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT | ODDS: 5 to 1
JGL is as close to a safe bet as we’re going to get. He’s young and charismatic. He can act. And he’s built an impressive film resume (Christopher Nolan’s epic Dark Knight saga ends with the torch being passed to him, for crying out loud). The guy is due to topline something big, and this could be it. Rather than figuring out how to save Gotham City, Gordon-Levitt might be figuring out the fastest way to tackle the Kessel Run.
