Community star Joel McHale has confirmed that actor and musician Donald Glover will be taking part in the upcoming movie.
Is Donald Glover going to be in the Community movie?
McHale spoke about the Community movie with Kelly Ripa on her podcast, Let’s Talk Off Camera. During the discussion, the actor confirmed that Glover would be coming back.
“Donald’s coming back and that’s really important,” McHale stated (via Entertainment Weekly). “The fact that Donald’s gonna do it, that was the big piece. But I think everyone’s coming back. I mean, so far we’re pretty good. And I think that will happen. If not then, you know, Donald will be there.”
Since the Community movie’s announcement, there were several mentions of Donald Glover potentially reprising the role of Troy Barnes, though this serves as the most concrete confirmation of the star’s return thus far. The film’s production is currently on hold as a result of the ongoing writers strike.
Community concluded its acclaimed six-season run in 2015 after jumping across multiple networks. The series has since gained further popularity through streaming services like Netflix, leading to a Zoom cast reunion that featured the entire main cast outside of Chevy Chase taking place in 2020.
