After much speculation we have sort of confirmation that Donald Glover will star in the Lando Disney+ show. When the Lando show was first announced fans simply assumed we were talking about Donald Glover and not 84 year old Billy Dee Williams. However considering the most recent appearance of Lando was by Williams in that rubbish Skywalker movie, it was up for debate. I think the most popular theory I have heard among fans is a bit of both actors. Many fans would like to see Williams version telling stories of his life to his daughter that he just happens to bump into at the end of Skywalker. However those stories would then star Glover as the younger version of Lando.
We don’t know a whole lot to be honest. However on his latest appearance on Jimmy Kimmell Live, Glover admitted, reluctantly, that he will appear in Lando. Check it out below, skip to the 11 minute mark if all you want is the Lando section.

It is clear Glover is very careful and does not want to say too much. However at the same time, it’s pretty obvious he will star in Lando based on this interview. Since Lando was first announced at what seems like a long time ago in a Galaxy far, far away (Disney Investor Day), there has been zero news. I mean seriously, zero solid news about the show, until this interview above. Perhaps that’s because Glover has been busy and things were being worked out behind the scenes, I have no idea? Though some fans were beginning to wonder whether Lando would even happen after so little news. This at least puts Lando back on our calendars, though, when it’ll film and when we might see it are still a mystery?
What do you think as we finally find out that Donald Glover will star in the Lando Disney+ show? Thoughts below as always.
