With a Han Solo movie in development, Josh Holloway let’s it be known he would love to play the character.
Yahoo spoke with Holloway, who happens to be a big Han Solo fan with even his Lost character having dropped Solo-esque wisecrack remarks.
“Damn. I’d love to do it. I love Han Solo,” Holloway said. “They’d never ask me, but I’d love to be Han Solo.
“You know, I got to arrest Han Solo in a movie once,” Holloway said, referencing 2013’s Paranoia. “I grabbed him, pulled his hands behind his back, cuffed him. He turned around and said to me, ‘You’re losing it, boy.’ Then I stuffed him in a car. But that might be as close as I get to Han Solo.”
The Star Wars Han Solo movie has a May 25, 2018 release directed by Christopher Miller and Phil Lord, executive produced by Lawrence Kasdan and Jason McGatlin and co-produced by Will Allegra, with a screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan and Jon Kasdan.
