Donald Glover Had to Audition for ‘Solo’ One More Time Than Alden Ehrenreich (Video)
“Solo: A Star Wars” story hasn’t even come out yet, and already so many fans have been saying they can’t imagine anyone who’d be a better fit to play Lando Calrissian than Donald Glover. (Except maybe Billy Dee Williams). But, according to Glover, the filmmakers weren’t entirely sold on him from the beginning — or at least not as sold on him as lead Alden Ehrenreich.
Glover and Ehrenreich, who plays the titular Han Solo in the upcoming “Star Wars” prequel flick, stopped by the “Ellen DeGeneres Show” Monday to talk about their good times auditioning and improvising together. Although, when Lando found out he had to come in just one more time than Han to land the role, he was a little taken aback.
