Here’s the perfect casting choice for a young Han Solo in a Star Wars spinoff

So I was watching Paddington at the movie theater this Saturday. It was a wonderful family movie, in case you're wondering. Before the film started, there was a trailer for a movie titled The Age of Adaline.

The Age of Adaline stars Blake Lively and Harrison Ford, and it's about a young woman, born at the turn of the 20th century, that is rendered ageless after an accident. After years of a solitary life, she meets a man who might be worth losing her immortality.

I thought two things after the trailer finished: one, that was an odd choice for a trailer running before Paddington; two, there's a young actor in the film that is playing a younger version of Harrison Ford's characters… AND HE LOOKS JUST LIKE HARRISON FORD!

That actor is 24-year-old is Anthony Ingruber. The part of "young William" in The Age of Adaline is his first big role. He's appeared in some small TV shows I've never heard of, was a ground technician on Avatar, and appeared in the 2010 documentary The People vs. George Lucas as himself.

You see, Anthony Ingruber does impressions. He does Jack Nicholson, Bane, all three Jokers (Mark Hamill, Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger). But he also does a spot on Harrison Ford impression. The subtleties of Harrison Ford's expressions, Ingruber does them all. He even has the perfect Harrison Ford smirk. IT'S PERFECT. Just watch for yourself.

There's three Star Wars spinoff movies in the works, each one scheduled to release between Episodes 7, 8 and 9, with the first Star Wars spinoff movie (directed by Gareth Edwards) coming December 16, 2016. There has been rumors that the first one will feature a young Han Solo and Boba Fett. There's even been rumors that Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul playing Han Solo in the spinoff movie. Here's the problem… I can't imagine anyone but Anthony Ingruber as Han Solo now. I don't even know how well he can act on screen; all I know is he looks the part.

So here are some pictures of Ingruber for you look over as proof he can look the part of Han Solo. Maybe we should start some sort of hashtag or something — those hashtag movements always work.
