AceShowbiz - Donald Glover pitched his idea for spin-off movie to his old "Community" castmates during a reunion table read on Monday, May 18, 2020.
The one-off special saw Glover reuniting with his castmates Danny Pudi, Alison Brie, Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Yvette Nicole Brown, Jim Rash, and Ken Jeong as well as creator Dan Harmon to help Jose Andres' World Central Kitchen and Frontline Foods' Covid-19 relief efforts.
During the reunion, the "Atlanta" star pitched an idea for a film in which Abed Nadir, the character played by Pudi, would go out in search of his own character Troy Barnes - who is considered dead or lost at sea after being captured by pirates during season five.
"I like movies like that," Glover said, "What am I doing, writing the movie on the fly or something?"
Pudi agreed, adding, "I love the idea of Troy being lost and Abed's mission is to go find him, try to track someone down - that would be fun."
The rest of the cast also raised their hands in support of the idea of a new movie although Glover said the start of production could be some way off due to the coronavirus pandemic.
"The Mandalorian" star Pedro Pascal also took part in the table read, filling in for Walton Goggins, who was not available to reprise his character, Mr. Stone.
