"Solo: A Star Wars Story" scribe Jonathan Kasdan has revealed that the character of Lando Calrissian is pansexual.

In an interview with Huffpost, Jonathan, who wrote the film's story with his father Lawrence Kasdan, revealed that Lando, who is portrayed by singer-actor Donald Glover in the new film, is "pansexual" which means that he is "not limited in sexual choice with regard to biological sex, gender, or gender identity".

"There's a fluidity to Donald and Billy Dee's (portrayal of Lando's) sexuality. I mean, I would have loved to have gotten a more explicitly LGBT character into this movie.

"I think it's time, certainly, for that, and I love the fluidity ? sort of the spectrum of sexuality that Donald appeals to and that droids are a part of," Jonathan said.
