Last October, Star Wars fans learned Donald Glover had been cast as the young version of Lando Calrissian in the untitled Han Solo movie. On Tuesday (July 18), the world got its first look at the Atlanta creator as Lando courtesy of a photo posted on social media by director Ron Howard.
Howard, who has taken over directing duties for the Han Solo film from Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, shared a shot from the director’s chair that featured Glover in the camera. The veteran filmmaker’s tease was a welcome reveal for everyone who’s been yearning for any news tidbit about the movie.
“Lining up a shot today from my director’s monitor,” Howard wrote as the caption on Instagram.
The untitled Han Solo movie is the second entry in the Star Wars Anthology series, which takes place in the franchise’s universe but is not part of the respective trilogies that have defined the iconic films. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the first of these standalone movies, was released in December 2016.
