Atlanta star Donald Glover will be stepping into Billy Dee Williams’ shoes as Lando Calrissian for the Han Solo standalone movie, due in late 2018.

“We’re so lucky to have an artist as talented as Donald join us,” directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller explained in a statement announcing the casting. “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.”

Glover voices Miles Morales on Disney’s Ultimate Spider-Man and is appearing in the new MCU film, Spider-Man: Homecoming next year.
