Le show Lando de Disney+ serait maintenant un film
The Lando series for Disney+ is undergoing a major change, as it is reportedly transitioning from a streaming series to a feature film. This shift follows the trend of other Disney+ shows altering their course. However, unlike those that have been canceled, this change is likely due to the Star Wars universe the show is set in. Despite the underperformance of Solo: A Star Wars Story, one aspect that received widespread praise was Donald Glover’s portrayal of Lando Calrissian. His ability to make the character his own while staying true to its essence impressed audiences.
A Shift in Plans
Almost three years ago, during the chaos of the Disney Investor Day in 2020, it was announced that Donald Glover would be reprising his role as Lando in a Disney+ series. However, since then, there hasn’t been much progress on the project. Following the release of The Rise of Skywalker in 2019 and concerns of Star Wars fatigue, Disney shifted its focus to streaming series. Consequently, there hasn’t been a Star Wars film released since. Disney+ has provided Star Wars content, including acclaimed shows such as Andor and the first season of The Mandalorian, as well as more mixed reception for The Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the later seasons of The Mandalorian. However, the Lando series was left in limbo, and its fate was uncertain.
A Change of Medium
Recent developments indicate a significant change in plans for the Lando series. Stephen Glover, a new writer for the show, revealed in an episode of the Pablo Torre Finds Out podcast that the series will no longer be a streaming show. Instead, it is now being reimagined as a feature film. However, due to an ongoing strike, the exact details and confirmation of this transition remain somewhat unclear.
It appears that the pivot towards a film format is Stephen Glover’s desired direction for the Lando Star Wars project, as he collaborates with his brother on the project. However, until the strike is resolved and writers and actors receive fair compensation, the future of Lando and its development as a feature film remains uncertain. Nonetheless, this shift in plans offers an intriguing new chapter for the beloved character and the Star Wars universe.
