Donald Glover will be back as suave intergalacrtic gambler Lando Calrissian and he will have a hand in the telling of his adventures.<\/p>\n

The actor\/writer has been signed to take over the writing details for the previously announced Lando<\/em> Disney+ series, spinning Glover’s character off from 2018’s Solo: A Star Wars Story<\/strong>. Joining him on the scripting duties will be his brother Stephen Glover. The pair previously collaborated on the FX series Atlanta<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The deal was struck back in April, before the current strike started.<\/p>\n

The Glovers will be taking over the project from Dear White People writer\/director Justin Simien, who reportedly left the project before the brothers signed on for writing duties. Simien has Haunted Mansioon opening this weekend for Disney and is developing a television adaption of the Geoff Johns comic book Geiger for Paramount Television.<\/p>\n

Donald Glover first portrayed the roguish Lando Calrissian in 2018’s Solo: A Star Wars Story<\/strong> opposite Alden Ehrenreich’s Han Solo. While the film received mixed reviews, one thing that was universally agreed upon was praise for Glover’s portrayal of a younger version of Billy Dee Williams’ character from the Star Wars installments The Empire Strikes Back<\/strong>, Return Of The Jedi<\/strong> and The Rise Of Skywalker<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
