 While filming "Atlanta"'s second season, Glover portrayed a young version of Lando Calrissian in "" (2018), causing him to miss appearances in some episodes; Calrissian was previously played by Billy Dee Williams in two films in the original "Star Wars" trilogy.Despite the film's turbulent production and poor box office returns, Glover's performance was praised, particularly by critic Stephanie Zacharek for his "unruly, charismatic elegance".In July 2018, Glover released the "Summer Pack" extended play containing the songs "Summertime Magic" and "Feels Like Summer", the former of which was originally meant to be the lead single from Glover's forthcoming fourth studio album.
