Hot off the success of Atlanta Season 2 and Childish Gambino’s “This Is America,” FX is locking down director Hiro Murai. The frequent Donald Glover collaborator will soon expand to his own FX series, aiming to develop new TV projects for FX Networks and beyond.
One doesn’t set Donald Glover to host SNL and overlook his musical talent. The Atlanta and Solo: A Star Wars Story star will make his SNL hosting debut in May, pulling double-duty with his musical alter-ego Childish Gambino.
The strange saga of Donald Glover and Marvel’s Deadpool got weirder as the writer-creator denied he was “too busy” for the project, and tweeted a full mock script. Now, Glover’s partner confirms references to a “Taylor Swift episode” were genuine, and a “last straw” for Marvel.
Disappointed though we were that FX and Donald Glover parted ways with a proposed Deadpool animated series, the creator is taking it in stride. Not only is Glover correcting notions that his schedule left him “too busy” for the show, but the Solo star even shares a first script … of sorts.
