RUMOR MILL: SOLO Actor Donald Glover To Reprise Lando Calrissian Role For Future STAR WARS Series

A new rumor doing the rounds claims that Solo: A Star Wars Story actor Donald Glover is set to reprise the role of Lando Calrissian for a future project set in the galaxy far, far away. Take a look...

Donald Glover has expressed interest in reprising the role of Lando Calrissian in the past, and if a new rumor is to be believed, we might just see the Solo: A Star Wars Story standout return as the charming space-smuggler in his own series.

According to Kessel Run Transmissions, Glover has either signed on or is close to signing on to return as the younger incarnation of Lando for a future Disney+ show. They don't provide any more details, but previous rumors have suggested that Disney was very keen to entice the talented actor/musician back to the galaxy far, far away.

We assume any potential Solo spinoff would be set after the events of the movie, which would also open the door for the likes of Qui'Ra (Emilia Clarke), Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo) and, of course, the scruffy lookin' nerf-herder himself (Alden Ehrenreich) to make an appearance.

This should be taken with the usual pinch of salt until we hear more, but it is worth noting that this source broke the news of a Bad Batch animated series before Lucasfilm made it official, so it's certainly worth keeping an eye on.

What do you guys think? Would you like to see Glover return as Lando Calrissian? Let us know in the usual place.

Hopefully the paycheck is fat enough to where he can start making interesting projects again.

He was good as Lando but I give zero [frick]s about a Lando show. What are we going to get out of it besides content filler?

@regularmovieguy - That's the biggest problem with SW right now, they are milking it for every stupid detail. Lando was never a lead or major character. He was just a supporting character for a plot device and yet Disney is trying to make them all seem lik they're more than that.

Next thing you know we are going to get a full series about "FN-2199" just because he had a dope entrance by calling out Fin.

@regularmovieguy - Atlanta is amazing imo. Solo wasted him.

@BigMikeReviews - we have Donald Glover here right now, once he passes on, we can't get any young Lando ever, unless they go even younger. Let them fill in the action between Solo and The Empire Strikes Back. You can always move on to other stuff in the timeline, but if we have Donald Glover here now, let them make something with him. This is the way.

Who's to say that Lando couldn't be in the Obi Wan series. Obi Wan and Lando didn't cross paths in the original trilogy, but that doesn't mean that they didn't meet at some point in Obi Wans life between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope.

Why? The only good thing about the movie was the Darth Maul cameo and maybe Chewie.

I would love to see this, and have Billy Dee narrate it would be great!

Kinda feel like Donald Glover is too talented to invest more time on a character from a film that flopped...I’d watch a series about old Lando and Jannah though.

@Finalshowdown - Glover is one of the biggest fanboys in Hollywood. He would pay out of pocket for a chance to keep playing Lando.

He was good in SOLO and I've been hoping they revisit that world to really explore the underbelly of the galaxy. If they let Glover have creative control or at least heavy input, this could be another unique corner of the SW lore LF can showcase

Still more believable than Hayden Christensen returning.
