One of the highlights of Solo: A Star Wars Story was Donald Glover playing the young Lando, and it now looks like we’ll be seeing the original agin real soon too. The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that Billy Dee Willams will be once again taking over the role of Lando Calrissian in Star Wars Episode 9.
Billy Dee Williams made his appearance as Lando Calrissian in the 1980 iconic hit Empire Strikes Back and later reprised the role in Return of the Jedi 3 years later, however we still haven’t seen him in the new trilogy. It will also be extremely interesting to see how they use him seeing Han is gone and actress Carrie Fisher won’t be in Episode 9. I guess it’ll just be Lando and Chewie at the reunion party.
Star Wars Episode 9 will be filming later this summer and will hit theaters December 20, 2019. We’ll be bringing you more info as soon as we have it…

My name is Ziggy and I love Disney, everything Disney! I grew up on Disney and it has and continues to be a huge part of my life. I started young when my parents took me to Disney World when I was 18 months old. Little did they know that would be the first of an uncountable number of trips we would take. I have so many amazing memories going to Disney with my family and friends and it has been interwoven into my DNA.
