VIDEO : Harry Styles Was Almost Cast As Young Han Solo

One Direction singer Harry Styles was among the names being seriously considered to play the young Han Solo, at least according to a person in-the-know. Known for the time being as the Untitled Star Wars Han Solo Anthology Film, the coveted role in the second Star Wars spinoff ended up, of course, going to up-and-coming actor Alden Ehrenreich. The Golden Ticket to play the young version of the iconic space scoundrel, didn?t come to Ehrenreich easy, though, as the shortlist of Han Solo contenders reportedly included Taron Edgerton (Kingsman: The Secret Service), Jack O?Connell (Unbroken) and Jack Reynor (Transformers: Age of Extinction) ? who later admitted he was glad he didn?t get the part.
