Most of us assumed that the Solo: A Star Wars Story spin-off focusing on Lando Calrissian had fallen by the wayside, but Donald Glover has now confirmed that plans are still in place...

Even though Solo: A Star Wars Story didn't perform as well as Disney/Lucasfilm expected or hoped, we heard from a reliable source that a spin-off focusing on the younger Lando Calrissian was in the early stages of development not long after the movie;s release.

We never got an official announcement, though, and it was generally assumed that the project must have fallen by the wayside as Lucasfilm began to scale back on Star Wars content after the disappointing The Rise of Skywalker.

However, it seems we haven't seen the last of Donald Glover's take on the charming space-swindler.

While speaking to GQ about his most iconic roles, Glover, aka Childish Gambino, confirmed that he is still "talking" about the best way to revisit the character.

The Community star says that he would love to play Lando again, but doesn't just want to do it for the sake of a pay-cheque. He says he can't speak much more about it for fear of Kathleen Kennedy "hunting me down," but there's a chance we might find out more at Star Wars Celebration London this weekend.

This is good news, but it also depends on the context in which he is returning. Would not mind a Solo sequel. Movie deserved a better response than it received.
