It’s crazy how quickly something can take on a life of its own. Yes, it’s true that Falcon and the Winter Soldier‘s Sebastian Stan looks a lot like a young Mark Hamill. And that’s been enough to get fans talking about him playing Luke Skywalker in a future Star Wars series on Disney+, or in a movie, or maybe an episode of The Mandalorian. There’s legit nothing else behind all of the rumors other than that, and now Stan has addressed the situation himself while on Good Morning America.
Sebastian Stan on rumors of him playing a young Luke Skywalker in #StarWars: "If @HamillHimself calls me personally to tell me that he feels inclined to share this role with me then I'll believe it." ?https://t.co/i9rZzYvW4s pic.twitter.com/MvftVLlcLk

Both Hamill and Stan have had some fun with the fan-casting for months now, with both pretending to be father and son at different points…
Sorry to disappoint you but I refuse to say "Sebastian Stan-I AM YOUR FATHER!" (even though, in fact, I am) ? #SorryNotSorry #MySonSebastian pic.twitter.com/A6e4t6GkXC
