All that’s been officially mentioned about the younger Lando so far is that he’s “a scoundrel on the rise in the galaxy’s underworld.”
For the Han Solo movie, he’s succeeding Billy Dee Williams as Lando Calrissian.
In the world of movies and television, Donald Glover has built an impressive resume through projects like Community, The Martian, Magic Mike XXL, Spider-Man: Homecoming and the Emmy-nominated Atlanta.
It’s unclear if he and Han already know each other when the movie starts or if this will depict their first meeting, but judging by Glover’s comments about why Lando is such an appealing character, Han may not want to keep a close eye on the future Cloud City administrator.
