Solo Writer confirms Lando is sexually fluid. Attracted to both men and women in the film.

Bisexual either sex.
Fluid, just go with the flow. No reservations. Change over time.
Bisexual is almost 50/50% stable state of attraction to both sexes
Fluid is more one week your feeling one way, next week there other way
Also with Star Wars and Aliens/Robots/Intergalactic Species, Bisexual still has hard set of rules, but fluid just goes off the wall what your feeling at that moment
Also I need a Donald Glover Colt 45 ad stat
How agonizing must it be to be a movie fan and be on constant vigiliance for the most minor of details of a film.
People need to relax and let people talk about stuff.
They talk at the end of the movie and nod at each other at the beginning of Jedi. I think they hug at the end too. Poor Lando in Return of the Jedi. No one really talks to him aside from one conversation with Han and Nien Nunb - but at least he does destroy the Death Star (and without the Force, too).
Lando probably did the most important job in all of RotJ and no one acknowledges it.
I think they're taking the piss on all the shenanigans from the Deadpool thread yesterday.
The rest of the world to catch up presumably. Too much money to be made in places with medieval world views to go all the way with it.
Baby steps. Sigh.
Just sounds like another "yeah, we're woke we promise" comment. Like when they say a superhero is gay but it's never properly indicated on screen. Just hollow point-scoring.
Obligatory.
On a more serious note, this is good, but not good enough. I second the "shit or get off the pot" sentiments regarding queer representation in media. Bigotry doesn't merit mollycoddling, nor should it be the oft-tacit standard by which content is deemed appropriate.

Agree. Most of the time they say it before a movie gets released to get more people interested which is very insulting i think.
Curious how its handled. But I am reminded of before the last Star Trek movie they made a big bruhaha about Suku being gay
In the final movie there is a 4 second shot where he holds his partners hand who was never mentioned previously, never speaks, doesnt have a name and is never seen again.

If your character is actually gay or bi then you don't need to say so publicly because the movie speaks for itself.
Yup. I wouldn't blame anybody for getting tired of this stuff now. Either show their sexuality on screen or keep quiet, don't leave it for a couple of lines in the novelisation and then show nothing in the movie itself.

Well...I mean the movie isn't even out yet...and apparently he flirts with everyone (going by what little I've seen). I've tried to stay away from spoilers/lots of scenes/trailers.
Sweet. Lando was always one of the best Star Wars characters out there and I'm glad they're fleshing him out a little more.

I am not sure how this is too surprising given how sexual Lando has always been.
I firmly believe that even if Luke's inconsequential little sidequest to redeem his dad never went down, Lando would have crossed the Emperor and Vader off his kill list. True hero of Return of the Jedi and therefore the entire saga.
Seems like quite the retcon. But it still could work since the OT didnt really dig deep into Lando's character. I'll allow it. ALways thought of him as a ladies man though
Word. It either is or is not evidenced in the film. Nothing else matters.
To folks saying "Why do they need to come out and explicitly state Lando's sexuality? What, would you prefer Lando just come and scream about being bi/pansexual to everyone he meets?" It's not like your only two options are not saying/showing anything and a character proudly proclaiming their sexuality - there's a middle ground. You can't tell someone's sexuality just by looking at them. As such, it has to be expressed through a characters words, actions, and body language.
Star Trek Beyond and, of all things, the fucking Power Rangers movie got this right. Sulu and Trini's sexuality were established in a deliberate manner, but it was done tastefully and in a way that didn't hit the audience over the head.
Disregarding Lando, since I haven't seen Solo yet, there needs to be a descriptor or a word for when one of the creatives involved with a movie/TV show/book comes out and says "Oh yeah that character was gay/bisexual". It's like passive progressivism or something. They get to pat themselves on the back for being inclusive without actually having done anything to deserve it.
As a bisexual man, I'm obviously all for more inclusion of characters who have, to use their own word, a more fluid sexuality. But good lord make an effort. Enough of this after-the-fact crap.

I agree that this is a spoiler. I wish I heard about this IN THE FILM, not on a fucking thread title. At least don't put it into the fucking TITLE OF THE THREAD.
I will reserve judgment until I see the movie, but these situations are downright insulting. You can't have your cake and eat it too. All this winking and nudging, the Sulus, the Grindelwalds, the Dumbledores and the Le Fous, the confirmation of a character's sexuality on interviews and/or on Twitter, the neverending and wildly creative excuses for the lack of proper on-screen representation, the expectation that we as LGBTQ+ people will find these comments enough and hop on board the marketing train and find the movie "progressive"... It's 2018, fuck off.
Oh man, people are going to LOSE THEIR SHIT. Lando is one of the most-beloved characters. This is gonna make for some great reading on the webz.

He's about as fluid as Deadpool is. But they used a strap on in Deadpool! Yeah, they had a fucking sex gag in the movie.
It's fucking lame as shit when they do this. It means nothing and is meant to handwave away any complaints for more representation.

Withholding judgment until I see the movie, but I sure would like some representation, rather than "representation."
Lip service isn't getting anyone any points, it just makes the writers and movie look worse.

Uh he flirts with Male characters IN the film it has been said. Its canonical. Lando is sexually fluid.
Oh that's actually really cool then. I guess I shouldn't be so cynical.
Dude, Sullstans are sexy. You just have to lift up the mouth flaps.
