What Is Billy Dee Williams Teasing?
With the expansive franchise of Star Wars, Billy Dee Williams' tease could pertain to a variety of things. However, the timing of his post coinciding with updates on the Lando show strongly suggests that he is referring to the revitalized Disney+ series. The development of Star Wars' Lando Calrissian story has been ongoing, but with the recent addition of the Glover brothers to the writers room, it appears to be progressing with a clearer focus.
Initially, it was uncertain whether the Lando show would center around Donald Glover's younger iteration of the character from Solo: A Star Wars Story, or Billy Dee Williams' older version, or possibly a combination of both. Now that Glover has been brought on as a writer and Williams has posted a mysterious hint, it is safe to assume that the latter scenario is true and both versions of Lando will be at the forefront of the series. This opens up an array of thrilling possibilities for Lando, a sentiment that is clearly shared by Billy Dee Williams himself.
