So I'm rewatching Ant-Man(thx Kmart).
The start of the film has Michael Douglas playing a younger version of himself. He appears like he does roughly during the Oliver Stone Wall Street days. And it looks completely legit.
This is made possible by de-aging vfx artistry by Lola VFX(the experts at this sort of thing).
We know Disney is making Anthology standalone SW movies. One of those movies is supposedly based on Young Han Solo. It will be directed by the duo who made the really fun The Lego Movie for Warners.
Well, what if they cast Harrison Ford as a young Han Solo?
Why not? They effectively erased roughly 30+ years off Michael Douglas for Ant Man.
Here is a side by side of Douglas in Ant Man(Left; circa 1989) and Douglas today:

So why couldn't they do the same for Ford and allow him to play himself?
There's no need to recast the part(and really, who could play Han besides Ford?).
So cast Harrison to play a young Solo and contract with Lola vfx to do all the de-aging stuff for the film. ILM can do the rest of the cool SW stuff.
What say you?
