Besides The Lion King, his upcoming appearances include Spider-Man: Homecoming and the Han Solo movie, the latter of which he’ll play a younger Lando Calrissian.
Being in The Lion King, though, will be his first movie voice role, as well as another opportunity for younger viewers to become acquainted with him.
The Lion King is the latest project to boost Donald Glover’s stardom even higher.
He’s also made a name for himself as a rapper, where he goes by Childish Gambino.
