While the honor to play a young Billy Dee Williams was rewarding enough, Glover actually revealed in a behind-the-scenes featurette about the prequel that, just recently after his casting was announced, an airport security agent allowed him to jump the line for an autograph.
However, the attendant referred to him as “Lando” instead of his real name, something the actor claimed was not unusual at that time.
Despite the Deadpool controversy, 2018 was still a good year for Donald Glover for releasing Season 2 of Atlanta, hosting Saturday Night Live, and, of course, playing Lando Calrissian in Solo: A Star Wars Story.
