Lucasfilm and Donald Glover are at least discussing the Lando Calrissian Disney Plus series despite it going quiet since being announcened in 2020.

Glover hasn't been cast in the show but fans are eager for him to reprise his role as Lando following his portrayal of the space scoundrel in Solo: A Star Wars Story. Speaking to GQ, Glover has now confirmed that he and Lucasfilm are definitely talking about the possibility.

"Lando is definitely somebody I'd like to hang out with," Glover said. "I mean we're talking about it. That's as much as I can say, you know, without [Lucasfilm president] Kathleen Kennedy hunting me down."

Though he was unable to reveal if the show is in active development, or if he has a role in it at all, Glover did make clear that he'd be up for playing Lando again if the project was done right.

"I would love to play Lando again. It's a fun time to be him," Glover said. "It just needs to be the right way to do it."

He continued: "I'm not interested in doing anything that's just gonna be a waste of my time or just a paycheck. I'd much rather spend time with people that l enjoy. So it just has to be the right thing, which I think it could be."

Lucasfilm and Disney haven't said a thing about the series, simply titled Lando, since it was announced in December 2020. "The galaxy’s favourite scoundrel, Lando Calrissian, will return in Lando, a brand-new event series for Disney+," it said at the time. "Justin Simien is in the early stages of developing the project."

Another indication the show is still in development came in March 2023 as Disney began cleaning up its vague list of upcoming projects, even scrapping some films from the schedule, but Lando's cancellation wasn't mentioned here.
