The original cast of "Star Wars", Harrison Ford as Han Solo, Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker and Carrie Fisher as Leia Organa, had returned in the J J Abrams-directed "Force Awakens" and fans have been hoping to catch a glimpse of Lando in the "The Last Jedi".
However, Johnson, who took over the directing duties from Abrams in the eighth chapter, asked fans not to get their hopes high.
"No, and I don't want fans to get their hopes up. He's not in the film and it was never really something that came up," Johnson told Entertainment Weekly.
In the announced Hans Solo movie, actor Donald Glover will portray the role of Lando.
"The Last Jedi" also features Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Mark Hamill, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyongo, Gwendoline Christie, among others.
