Donald Glover’s Lando Calrissian will be returning in a film rather than the previously announced Disney+ series. The actor’s brother, Stephen Glover, a fellow Atlanta EP who was working on the project alongside Donald Glover, broke the news on the Pablo Torre Finds Out podcast.
“It’s not even a show,” said Glover. “The idea right now is to do a movie. … Right now because of the strike, it’s like [a game of] telephone.”
The two Glovers replaced Justin Simien as the screenwriters of Lando, according to news reports from July. Donald Glover received praise for his role as the smooth-talking smuggler and schemer in 2018’s Solo: A Star Wars Story, despite the film’s lackluster performance and reviews.
