Woody Harrelson gave us our first look at Donald Glover’s impressiveLando Calrissian mustachea few months back, but it appears that the ‘stache was just in its infancy as Ron Howard has shared a brand-new picture of he and Glover from the set of theHan Solo movieand the facial hair has been stepped up a considerable amount. There are many iconic pieces to theStar Warsuniverse and one of them is definitely the sweet mustache of Billy Dee Williams that was first introduced in 1980’sThe Empire Strikes Back. That amazing mustache was used to sling Colt 45 back in the day with the popular slogan “It works every time” and has since gone on to earn legendary status.
The new picture of Glover on set comes to us viaRon Howard’s Twitteraccount and it features some impressive facial hair from the young Lando. Howard said that Glover’s work on the movie was “wildly impressive” while also mentioning that yesterday was the actor’s last day on the set. It has been widely reported that the set of theHan Solomovie has been at an all-time high thanks to Howard taking over the project and there is no doubt that Glover brought his A-game to the project as well.
While Billy Dee Williams’ portrayal of Land Calrissian went with a more slick looking, clean shaven look with the iconic mustache, Glover appears to have taken the character in a more hairy direction. Glover is shown in the photo with a goatee and long sideburns that make him look like an intergalactic member of the Three Musketeers. It could be that young Lando was learning to tame his facial hair that he later perfected inThe Empire Strikes BackandReturn of the Jedi, but we’ll have to wait and see where the spin-off takes young Lando’s mustache.
Donald Glover has said recently that joining theStar Warsuniverse has been “probably one of my favorite experiences ever,” while going on to say that the experience has been surprisingly “artistic.” Donald Glover’s star has been on the rise for some time now. He came into the mainstream in the fan-favorite comedy seriesCommunityand the show’s creator even admits that Glover leaving the show in Season 5 was pretty much the beginning of the end for the show. If that wasn’t enough, Glover is also a rapper and really stretched his talents with the latest Childish Gambino record where he’s playing multiple instruments and singing instead of rapping.
It has long been rumored that some of the Ewoks had a problem with Billy Dee Williams' mustache on the set ofReturn of the Jediand there’s no word on what Chewbacca thinks about young Lando’s facial hair on the set this time around, but it’s probably not that big of a deal. TheHan Solospin-off movie will be released on May 25th, 2018 so we’ve still got quite a while to wait, but hopefully some kind of teaser trailer will be ready in time for the release ofThe Last Jediin November. Until then, you can check out the new picture of Donald Glover from the set below.
