Billy Dee Williams will be donning Lando Calrissian’s cape for JJ Abrams’ Star Wars Episode IX.

Although the official Star Wars site has yet to comment officially, The Hollywood Reporter has stated that Williams will join Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Adam Driver and Keri Russell in what is being seen as the last of the “Skywalker” saga. Williams last appeared in Star Wars in 1983’s Return of the Jedi, although the character – played by Donald Glover – was a key part of this year’s Solo: A Star Wars Story.
