Donald Glover Wants To See Lando in Space-Based 'Catch Me If You Can'

Solo : A Star Wars Story ’s Donald Glover already knows where he want to see Lando go next . His name might not be the one on the theater marquee , but it ’s percipient Glover ’s Lando Calrissian is going to be a scene - thief in the immature Han Solo picture . The character made a spatter while barely saying a word inthe originalSoloteaser poke , and he ’s only continue to affect in footage from the film ever since . Lucasfilm even free an intact featurette dedicate to demonstrate offLando ’s " mantle way " aboard the Millennium Falcon .

Billy Dee Williams as the elder Lando has been prominently absent from theStar Warssequel trilogy and is n’t await to seem inEpisode IX , either . The Lando fibre ’s future tense on the big screen thus lies with Glover ’s younger version of the charming gambler and former Cloud City Baron Administrator . If Glover reprises the part after this month’sSolo , it will almost sure be in succeeding adventures feature Alden Ehrenreich as the magnetic moon curser advert Han . However , should a Lando spinoff ever come to pass , Glover already has an musical theme that could work for it .

blind Rantinterviewed Glover at theSolojunket this preceding hebdomad and postulate him where he wants to see Lando go next in the Star Warsfilms . TheAtlantastar said he like the idea of Lando being the star of his own con creative person adventure , in the mineral vein of Steven Spielberg’sCatch Me If you’re able to :

Screen Rant : Lando can do anything and he does . Like in Empire ( Strikes Back ) he starts off deceive the Rebels and then by Return ( of the Jedi ) he ’s a Rebel General . Where would you like to see Lando go next ?

Donald Glover : I really just want to see him , like doing all of that . Still doing anything . Like , I guess that would just be fun to just see him just like … Because like , we see him shift so much … He ’s just like , I think charismatic and masses are like , you do it what , you should own this metropolis . You should own Cloud City , like that kind of matter , or like winning . So I think it would be just nice to see like , oh , like I ’m a General , and now I ’m delirious at this hotel , and then now , I ’m just like … I think that will be just funny but also nerveless to see like how far appeal develop you . Almost like a ' view Me If you’re able to . A space ' view Me If you’re able to ' .

Solodirector Ron Howard saysthere aren’t"concrete plans"for sequelsjust yet , but it ’s safe to take up Lando will return if they happen . Glover ’s adaptation is still a style off from becoming the smooth - talking city decision maker weigh down by his responsibleness that Williams roleplay first inThe Empire Strikes Back , so there ’s room to explore Glover ’s theme about how far Lando can get by on his charm alone . As much fun as it would be to follow Lando ’s dangerous undertaking in his own picture show , aSolofollowup can also do the concept justice .

TheSolomovies can distinguish themselves from otherStar Warsfilms by explore the seedier side of a galax far , far forth in the means that Glover is suggesting here . Solois essentially a heist movieset in space and future sequels could work up on that by work in similar genres featuring bunko game artists , street girl , and shepherd’s crook who make a living by peach their way out of trouble . It would surely be fun to see what other job Lando charmed his manner into , before landing his noted Cloud City gig .
