After weeks of speculation as to whom will be playing Lando Calrissian in the Han Solo Star Wars Anthology Film; we finally have confirmation that actor/rapper/comedian Donald Glover will be stepping into the iconic role.

As a huge fan of Glover for some years now, from his time on Community to his rap career as Childish Gambino, and now on his new show, Atlanta; Glover has proven himself to have a fantastic range as an actor. I also think that he’ll be able to deliver the swagger that Billy Dee Williams originally brought to the scoundrel. Super excited to see how he plays off of Alden Ehrenreich in the film.

I’m also excited to see if he’ll have a similar endorsement deal for Colt .45
