The ‘Untitled Han Solo’ Film Has Found Its Lando Calrissian!

Hello, what have we here?

“We’re so lucky to have an artist as talented as Donald join us,” said Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the directing pair of the Untilted film. “These are big shoes to fill, and an even bigger cape, and this one fits him perfectly, which will save us money on alterations. Also, we’d like to publicly apologize to Donald for ruining Comic-Con for him forever.”

LucasFilm announced and it was posted on Twitter, @starwars, the newest cast member to the Untitled Han Solo film, is Donald Glover. He will be playing Lando Calrissian, the smooth talking smuggler. Han Solo will be played by Aldin Ehrenreich. Playing Lando in the original Star Wars films was Billy Dee Miller opposite Harrison Ford’s Solo.

Who is Donald Glover? one may ask. He is known for his work on NBC’s Community. He is also known for his critically acclaimed FX series, Atlanta. He was in Ridley Scott’s Martian and can be seen in the upcoming Marvel film, Spiderman: Homecoming. 

The duo meet years before the events of A New Hope. The film will follow the duo in their formative years, giving us a look at what makes these guys tick. The Untitled Han Solo Film is set to premiere sometime in 2018.
