Glover will co-write the series with his brother as 'Haunted Mansion' director Justin Simien exits the project.
The Big Picture Lando is back baby! Donald Glover, who played a younger version of the iconic Star Wars character in Solo, is set to pen the series with his brother Stephen Glover. The series has been in the works at Disney+ for quite some time. When Lando was first announced in December 2020, Haunted Mansion director Justin Simien was attached, but he has since exited the project according to Variety.
The swashbuckling friend of Han Solo , Lando Calrissian was first played on screen by Billy Dee Williams in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Glover took over in the prequel one-shot Solo and will likely reprise the role in the upcoming series. While the plot of the upcoming Star Wars spinoff is currently kept inside of an Imperial vault, Glover's version of the character was seen left alone after losing the Millennium Falcon to Han Solo , leaving his fate uncertain up until the point when they meet again in the Cloud City of Bespin.
A Young Hero Builds a Name for Himself Glover's version of the character doesn't have the prestige his older counterpart has in the galaxy far, far away. Since he finds himself alone in a time period when the Empire was at the peak of its strength, he needs to find new allies who can help him get the power he needs to build a name for himself.
Stay tuned at Collider for further updates on Lando and check out our interview with Glover and Phoebe Waller-Bridge from Solo down below.
