There has been some confusion online about Donald Glover’s upcoming Lando film. It was originally announced as a Disney+ series, but was retooled as a film last year.
Donald Glover's Lando Show is actually a movie
The confusion stems from poor aggregation of a new interview with Simien about the scrapped series. However, Simien has not been involved with the upcoming Lando project for over a year, and was only talking about the iteration that was already known to be axed.
"It was pretty fleshed out," Simien told Collider of the project. "There was a Bible. There was concept art. There were scripts. But it just wasn't meant to be."
But again, this is nothing new. In June 2023, it was revealed that Simien was off the Lando series, with Donald Glover and his brother, Stephen Glover, taking over creative duties and writing the project. Then in September 2023, it was announced that it would be a film instead of a series.
