In a surprising turn of events, Donald Glover’s interpretation of Lando Calrissian, the charismatic gambler of the Star Wars universe, will be making his next appearance on the big screen rather than through a Disney+ series. This information came to light via Stephen Glover, Donald’s brother and collaborator on the anticipated Lando project. The change in direction from series to film has left fans buzzing with anticipation.
Donald Glover first breathed new life into the younger version of Lando in the 2018 film, Solo: A Star Wars Story. Despite the film’s lukewarm box office results, Glover’s portrayal was widely applauded. With this backdrop, the pivot from a series to a feature film promises a fresh new take on the galaxy’s infamous double-crosser.

Originally, during a Disney investor day in December 2020, a Lando-centric Disney+ series had been announced. However, with the streaming service now moving towards more spaced-out programming, Lando’s big screen reappearance seems to align with this new strategy.
Regardless of the format, fans are eager to see more of Glover’s Lando, a character first brought to life by the legendary Billy Dee Williams in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back in 1980. Whether series or silver screen, the charm of Lando Calrissian is bound to captivate audiences anew.
