'Star Wars 8' Cast News & Updates: Disney Seeking Young Han Solo, Dubrovnik Set Photos Leaked

Disney and Lucasfilm have long been searching for an actor to portray a younger Han Solo for the upcoming "Star Wars Episode VIII." According to reports, the creators behind the 2017 "Star Wars" sequel have narrowed down their choices to Alden Ehrenreich, Jack Reynor and Taron Egerton.

Multiple sources have confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that the production companies have conducted tests in London for three actors. Among those who participated in the tests last week are Alden Ehrenreich of "Hail, Caesar!," Jack Reynor of "Transformers: Age of Extinction" and Taron Egerton of "The Kingsman" and "Eddie the Eagle."

Sources also mentioned that other famous names might well be included in the list. Although, that seems to be much more difficult to uncover due to the high confidentiality that surrounds the "Star Wars" films.
