It looks like
Lucasfilm is looking to cast a young actor to play iconic smooth talker and
future Cloud City owner Lando Calrissian in the upcoming Star Wars spinoff film
centered on a young Han Solo and Chewbacca.
Billy Dee Williams
introduced the character in Empire Strikes Back before reprising the role in
Return of the Jedi. Since then the actor has reprised the role a few more times
but in the Disney animated series Star Wars Rebels.
Calrissian has a long
history with Solo, so his inclusion in the film was to be expected. Maybe we will
get to see the moment he lost the Millennium Falcon to Solo in a game of
sabacc.
According to The
Wrap, Chance is the code name circling around casting agencies for a young
Lando.
Opening in theaters on May 25, 2018, the Han Solo anthology film will be directed by Phil
Lord and Chris Miller from a script by Jon and Lawrence Kasdan with Alden Ehrenreich starring in the titular
role.
