Donald Glover is officially cast as young Lando Calrissian in the upcoming Han Solo Star Wars film.

HUGE NEWS! It has officially been announced that actor Donald Glover (Community) has been cast in the role of young Lando Calrissian in the upcoming stand alone Star Wars film for Han Solo. Glover will take on the role that was made famous by actor Billy Dee Williams and join Alden Ehrenreich who was cast in the role of Han Solo.

"This new film depicts Lando in his formative years as a scoundrel on the rise in the galaxy’s underworld — years before the events involving Han, Leia, and Darth Vader in The Empire Strikes Back and his rise to Rebel hero in Return of the Jedi."

What do you think about this casting? Are you as excited as I am? I cannot wait to learn more about this character. I always wanted there to be more to him in the films and we are finally getting it. It'll be exciting to hear more news about this film, it's cast, and it's story!

The untitled Han Solo film is set to be released in 2018.
