Donald Glover is having himself a good year! His show Atlanta currently owns Tuesday nights and now it looks like he can add playing an iconic Star Wars character to his still growing list of accomplishments.

It’s a good day to be a blerd (black nerd) and fan of Star Wars today! Announced on the official Star Wars website today, Glover will be playing a young Lando Calrissian (originally played by Billy Dee Williams) alongside Alden Ehrenreich who will take on the role of a young Han Solo (originally played by Harrison Ford) in an upcoming solo film about our favorite intergalactic smuggler.

The upcoming film’s directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller spoke on Donald joining the cast:

We’re so lucky to have an artist as talented as Donald join us.These are big shoes to fill, and an even bigger cape, and this one fits him perfectly, which will save us money on alterations. Also, we’d like to publicly apologize to Donald for ruining Comic-Con for him forever.

We are absolutely excited for Donald and can’t wait to see him the upcoming untitled Han Solo film which is slated to hit theaters in 2018. Glover is also starring in the upcoming Marvel Studios film Spider-Man: Homecoming so we will be looking out for him in that as well.

Congrats Donald!

Stay Fly!

1 Comment on Our Favorite WTF Moments From FX’s New Series Atlanta!

onald Glover’s brainchild Atlanta has finally arrived and YES it’s pretty damn good. Last night viewers were not only treated to one, but two episodes for last night’s premiere. If you didn’t catch it Atlanta is a dark comedy that follows two cousins Earnest Marks (Donald Glover) and rapper Alfred ‘Paper Boi’ Miles (Brian Tyree). We watch them hilariously try to navigate through the Atlanta hip-hp music scene so they can better the lives of their families. The first episode is provided for you above just in case you missed it.

Making it in the hip-hop industry proves to be no easy task as the two encounter trouble immediately when they get locked up after an encounter in a parking lot leads to a shooting. From there it’s nonstop laughs as these two try to make the best of their given situations all the while encountering random fellow Atliens along the way.

There were many moments to choose from the show that had us LOL’ing at our televisions last night, we managed to narrow down our favorite Atlanta moments. Hit the jump to see our favorite Atlanta moments below:

3 Comments on [New Video] Childish Gambino – “L.E.S.”

Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino drops his latest visual for his dope track “L.E.S.” off his album “Camp”. Gambino is noticeably absent in the visual but the concept of it seems to capture fun nights in NYC’s Lower East Side from his point of view. Even with the comedian/rapper not being in the video it doesn’t take away from how extremely dope it is. It’s rare now and days you get a great visual to compliment a dope track. Peep the visual below.
