Last year, the internet was aware that Sebastian Stan, who plays The Winter Soldier in the MCU, looks an awful lot like a young Mark Hamill. Since Disney is making Star Wars movies for the years to come, many have started fan casting Stan as young Luke Skywalker. The actor has taken this from fan casting to reality, as he has declared that he would be happy to play a young version of the Jedi.




Sebastian Stan made an appearance at the Rhode Island Comic Con. During the panel, a had fan asked him whether or not he would be up to play Luke Skywalker in a Star Wars movie. He said he would be “very happy” to do so.

“I just want to say here that anytime anyone would like to call me and ask me about Luke Skywalker, I’d be very happy.”

Star Wars fans may think something like this is almost blasphemy, but it is not far from a reality. It is closer to probable. Disney and Lucasfilm have a good relationship with Sebastian Stan after working with him on MCU movies. The similarities between the two are uncanny. Let us not forget that a young Han Solo movie, titled Solo: A Star Wars Story, will come out next year. If Disney and Lucasfilm can make us buy someone other than Harrison Ford as Han Solo, it is possible to do so with Mark Hamill and Luke Skywalker.

There is a lot to explore in a movie with a younger Luke Skywalker during the time of the original trilogy. Or after events of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. A version of Heir to the Empire?Thrawn and Luke Skywalker in live-action?

Mark Hamill has noticed the similarities and has signed off on the idea. Taking to Twitter last year, Hamill had posted a picture of them and acknowledged this resemblance.

“Sorry to disappoint you but I refuse to say ‘Sebastian Stan-I AM YOUR FATHER!’ (even though, in fact, I am) #SorryNotSorry #MySonSebastian”




Disney is planning out the next decade of Star Wars movies beyond Star Wars: Episode IX. Can this include a young Luke Skywalker movie with Sebastian Stan playing the role of the Jedi? The best actor for the job is happy to pick up the phone.
