With the movie recently adding Emilia Clarke to its roster with rumours of another leading lady floating on the internet, our new Han Solo Alden Ehrenreich has been talking about the casting of Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian.
“He’s wonderful, I think he’s going to do an excellent job,” he told The Wrap. “He’s such an interesting guy. He’s a successful stand-up, comedy writer, show runner, director, actor, rapper — and now Lando.”
Ehrenreich has also revealed that he’s yet to meet with Harrison Ford about taking over the role, but hopes to do so before they start shooting next year.
