STAR WARS EPISODE IX: Will Billy Dee Williams Return To The Role Of Lando Calrissian?
Donald Glover may have been the last actor to bring Lando Calrissian to life, but if a new rumor proves true, Billy Dee Williams may return to the role he made famous for next year's Star Wars: Episode IX.
Fans last saw Lando Calrissian in action when Solo: A Star Wars Story hit theaters last month. However, in that case, the role was brought to life by Donald Glover, rather than the legendary Billy Dee Williams.
Aside from voicing Lando on a few occasions, fans haven’t seen Williams in the iconic role since Return of the Jedi, nor have they seen what happened to the smooth-talking smuggler after the fall of the Empire.
But that may all change with Episode IX, as a new rumor from Fantha Tracks states Billy Dee Williams will finally be returning as Lando for another live-action appearance. What his possible role may be in the film is unknown, but the site reportedly reached out to another source that also claimed Williams would make an return.
While an appearance from Lando Calrissian set in the sequel era will likely be an exciting prospect for fans, it's important to note that Fantha Tracks is still labeling this possible news as a rumor.
So, if this does prove true, would you be happy to see Williams as the character he made famous one more time? Make sure to comment below.
