Donald Glover will co-write the Star Wars TV series about Lando Calrissian for Disney+ after he played the character in Solo.
A Lando TV series was first announced in December 2020. Justin Simien, creator of Dear White People and director of the new Disney horror movie Haunted Mansion, was originally attached dto the project. However, it appears that it is no longer the case, as the Glover brothers will be writing the series alone. The brothers previously collaborated together on the TV show Atlanta. The deal was made before the writer’s strike.
Glover portrayed the character in the 2018 movie Solo: A Star Wars Story. He portrayed a younger version of the character Billy Dee Williams portrayed in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. “I would love to play Lando again,” Glover told GQ “It’s a fun time, being him. It just has to be the right way to do it. Time is precious. The past couple of years, this pandemic shit, it really had people experience time… People realize their time is valuable. You only get so much. I’m not interested in doing anything that’s going to be a waste of my time or just a paycheck. I’d much rather spend time with people that I enjoy. It just has to be the right thing, and I think it could be.
