As reported The Hollywood Reporter, Favreau first met Glover at The Hollywood Reporter’s Conversation on Creativity event in December, where Favreau told Glover his son is a fan of the star’s music, which he performs under the name Childish Gambino.
“By the way, full disclosure: I see your face every day when I wake up my 15-year-old son because on his door is a portrait of you,” Favreau told the actor-musician.
In addition to this new project, Glover is set to star in Star Wars: A Rogue One Story and signed a production deal with FX. His highly successful comedy show, Atlanta, will return in 2018.
