Recently, Taron Egerton revealed why he refused to play Cyclops in X-Men: Apocalypse. Today, the British actor, starring in the Apple series Black Bird, lifts the veil on another role to which he said no, and not just any, since it is Han Solo , the mythical hero of the Star Wars saga popularized by Harrison Ford.
“I’ll be honest, I rode the Millennium Falcon. I was with Chewie. I was in the full Han Solo costume”says Taron Egerton in the Happy Sad Confused podcast. “There, I had arrived there, I had done it, I had lived it. But I just didn’t feel it. I just didn’t feel like I was Han Solo.”
“There was a second round of auditions which I decided not to go to”concludes the 32-year-old actor, notably known for his role in the Kingsman saga and his interpretation of Elton John in Rocketman. “It’s now far enough away for me to say so. I hope it doesn’t bother anyone.”
It is finally Alden Ehrenreich who will be chosen to play the intergalactic smuggler in the feature film Solo: A Star Wars Story, centered on the youth of the character and released in theaters in 2018.
