Disney has just announced that the star will be writing his next series dedicated to the famous ex-owner of the Millennium Falcon.
Actor, singer, producer… And now screenwriter. Donald Glover, also known by his stage name Childish Gambino, multiplies the caps in its abundant creative universe. The author of the conscious hit This is America already had strong ties to Disney, both for his role as the Prowler in Spider-Man Homecoming (and a cameo in Spider-Man: Accross the Spider-Verse) that Lando Calrissian dans Only: a Star Wars Story.
Logically, the studios decided to entrust the person who had played the future main character with writing the script for his upcoming series, Lando. A task that he will carry out alongside his brother, with whom he is also preparing to give life to Hypno-Hustler, a villain of the universe Spider-Man in an upcoming movie.
Oil on the fire
If the news will probably delight the artist’s fans, it did not fail to surprise the one who was already at work on the future series. Star Warsthe director of Haunted Mansion, Justin Simien. Indeed, the latter learned on social networks of the change made by the studios to writing, without having been notified directly by them.
A sadly usual way of doing things in Hollywood, which is also among the many reasons for the anger currently fueling the strike led by SAG-Aftra. After the affair of the artificial intelligence to the realization of the credits of Secret InvasionMarvel and Disney definitely seem to like playing arsonists.
From Solo to Lando
Coming back to the future series itself, its potential promises to be enormous. First, because Donald Glover took over from Lando Calrissian’s original actor, Billy Dee Williams, brilliantly. Then because Han Solo’s friend had various fortunes, little developed in the film and serial universe of the saga.
Discovering his past promises nuances and humor – Lando being a rather truculent character – and will shine a spotlight on these many “resourceful” who avoided the Empire without clearly showing themselves as rebels.
