After the flurry of controversy surrounding the Han Solo movie last month, it seems like things are finally back on track as Ron Howard has taken over as director. He seems to have wasted no time in sharing set photos with fans since he took over, with the filmmaker showing off a particular character’s wardrobe via Twitter. A character you may recognize by his cool-manner, and fashionable mustache.

It certainly looks like Lando Calrissian’s clothes. Donald Glover, who is playing Lando in the upcoming film, is already sporting the iconic mustache, and it looks like he now has the gear to match.
There has been a lot of worry over the Han Solo film due to the firing of directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller – not to mention the revelation that Lucasfilm has reportedly been unhappy with Han Solo actor Alden Ehrenreich’s performance, going as far as hiring an acting coach. It’s probably safe to say that all of the set photos being released by Howard are simply a show of good faith on behalf of the cast and crew. It comes across as an effort to smooth things over, and let fans know that it will be clear sailing from here on out.
