Donald Glover will return to a galaxy far, far away, reprising his role as Lando Calrissian for a new Disney+ series that he’ll also write with his brother.
. The Glovers reportedly signed the deal to write the new series in May, before the Writers Guild of America started.was first announced a couple of years ago, Justin Simien was attached to write the project. Hours before the news that the Glovers were taking over the series broke,published an interview with Simien where he admitted he didn’t “really know” if he was still attached to the project.
“I am attached, I think, but I don’t really know,” he said. “The last thing I was told was that they loved it but needed to put a pin in it until they could figure out everybody’s availability. I haven’t investigated further, but I’m not an idiot. I’m not alone in that experience. But I can’t help but wonder, ‘Am I too Black? Am I too queer? And people just don’t want to say that?’ Because it seems like I develop things with these companies and they just never happen for reasons unknown.
