Taron Egerton (Kingsman) was rumored to be in the running for the role of young Han Solo in the upcoming standalone Star Wars film. Alden Ehrenreich got the role instead, but that doesn’t mean Taron couldn’t play a similar role, like Han Solo’s son. He’s got a rugged look, and a face capable of conveying a wellspring of emotions. (Speaking of his face, he’s kinda hot, too. He’d make a perfect Solo/Skywalker child.)
