There's been plenty of drama and mystery surrounding the production of
Solo: A Star Wars Story, particularly regarding its change in directors from Phil Lord and Christopher Miller to Ron Howard. Lord and Miller were fired from the project due to creative differences with Lucasfilm, and while we've heard plenty of mixed reports on the situation, Donald Glover said not much changed when Howard came on board.
Glover, who is playing a younger version of Lando Calrissian in the upcoming Han Solo prequel film, was asked about the directorial change-up and how it affected production.
"It didn't really," the actor said.
“I think we were never faced with anything like that and he did a good job of coming in and didn’t want us to change what we were doing at all. He wanted us to be comfortable with our vision.”
Glover was also asked about reshoots, as it has been reported that
Howard has reshot almost all of the movie.
"Not a ton," he said, specifically referring to his own scenes in
Solo.
Glover also opened up on what it was like to portray the beloved
Empire Strikes Back character originally played by Billy Dee Williams.
"It's weird. I didn't have a lot of stress on me," Glover said.
"This is the first time in a long time, I was just acting. Most of the time, I have to write or do music. This time I woke up and got to be somebody else and the stress wasn't there for me."
We'll get to see Glover's take on the iconic gambler/swindler when
Solo: A Star Wars Story flies into theaters on May 25, 2018.
