Billy Dee Williams Teases a Return to ‘Star Wars’
Just days after the news broke that Donald Glover and his brother Stephen were writing a new Lando series for Disney+, Billy Dee Williams is teasing a new announcement.
Williams, who originated the role of Lando Calrissian in The Empire Strike Back, took to Twitter to tease Star Wars fans with a new update from a galaxy far, far, away.
“I am thrilled to share that something truly magnificent is coming soon,” Williams said on his Twitter account. “This is a dream come true for me, on all that has sustained and carried me through a lifetime of dreams and adventure, it is my honor to share with you. Make sure to enable notifications for stories and posts to stay in the loop, you don’t want to miss this… May the Force be with you all.”
Williams’ Storied Star Wars Career
It is currently unknown if Williams’ teaser announcement could see the Hollywood legend return to his iconic role.
After appearing in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, Williams reprised his role as Lando in 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker.
At the time, Williams spoke about how grateful he was to return to the franchise.
“You know, I’m a very lucky person,” Williams said. “I didn’t expect to be in this little adventure. I got lucky and I ended up working with somebody that I have a tremendous regard for: J.J. Abrams. I love this man. He’s a beautiful young man. He’s extraordinary. I’ve been doing this for a long time – I think 60 years I’ve been doing this, and I’ve been fortunate enough to work with some pretty extraordinary people in my lifetime. I regard this as a real highlight.”
When Will Williams Return
While we may not know the form that Williams’ return to Star Wars will take, fans of the franchise will be thrilled to hear that Lando is coming back. Perhaps the actor will return in the Lando series?
