Up until now, Donald Glover is probably best known as “Troy” from Community or for his hip-hop alter-ego Childish Gambino. (OK, so he’s also recently appeared in Spider-Man: Homecoming, The Martian and buzzing TV series, Atlanta, too.)
But all of that will pale in comparison to his latest role: that of a young Lando Calrissian in the upcoming Star Wars Han Solo spinoff, which recently got its mojo back after two-time Oscar-winner Ron Howard was installed as the film’s new director.

Howard, a self-professed Star Wars fan, recently endeared himself to the sci-fi series’ masses—and made Glover an even bigger star—sharing a small but clear photo on Instagram of Glover as a young Lando Calrissian.
The film is set to open in theaters next spring.
