Star Wars Spin-Offs: 10 Actors Who Could Play Boba Fett

8. Chiwetel Ejiofor

For some reason it€™s surprising to find that Ejiofor is 37. He managed to seem at once much older and much younger in his storming performance in 12 Years A Slave. His roles in Serenity, Children Of Men, and 2012 display a controlled, quiet presence, and he could definitely pull off a brooding, cautious Fett, carefully weighing up situations. He€™s a wonderfully reserved actor, and the suggestion that he€™s holding something back would be perfect for a bounty hunter who€™s learned not to trust anyone. The one thing going against Ejiofor is that he doesn€™t have much experience playing really dangerous characters €“ an entire generation will know him from Love Actually. But he showed his immense talent in 12 Years, and he certainly deserves a chance to sink his teeth into another huge role.
