Solo A Star Wars Story: Lando Calrissian sexuality confirmed by Donald Glover

Last week co-screenwriter Jonathan Kasdan said he believed Lando Calrissian is pansexual, and now Glover has agreed.

“How can you not be pansexual in space?” he told SiriusXM.

“There are so many things to have sex with. I didn’t think that was that weird.”

He added: “Yeah, he’s coming on to everybody. I mean, yeah, whatever.

“It just didn’t seem that weird to me ‘cause I feel like if you’re in space it’s kind of like, the door is open!

“It’s like, no, only guys or girls. No, it’s anything. This thing is literally a blob. Are you a man or a woman? Like, who cares? Have good time out here.”

Kasdan had previously explained: “There’s a fluidity to Donald and Billy Dee’s [portrayal of Lando’s] sexuality.

“I mean, I would have loved to have gotten a more explicitly LGBT character into this movie.

“I think it’s time, certainly, for that, and I love the fluidity ― sort of the spectrum of sexuality that Donald appeals to and that droids are a part of. He doesn’t make any hard and fast rules.

“I think it’s fun. I don’t know where it will go.”

Glover has also responded to rumours that Lando will be the subject of the next Star Wars spin-off film, after getting glowing reviews for Solo.

“It would always be fun to be Lando again. I would love to do it again,” he told Entertainment Weekly.

“It’s really fun. The movie, I feel like, is wide open.

“I feel like with the Skywalkers, it’s hard, because it’s almost like the Bible. There’s a story that you have to tell, and the lineage of that family.”

He added: “I feel like out here its like, yeah, we’re just like hustlers and gamblers and space pirates, essentially, so you can do a lot more and have a lot more fun.

“And I like those movies a lot. I like the comedy of them, the silliness and also the adventure. I think it would just be fun to do.”

Solo: A Star Wars Story is out on Thursday in the UK.
