LeVar Burton Addresses Community: The Movie Cameo Rumors

As a long-time fan who has fondly watched Community since its debut and cherished LeVar Burton’s self-referential character, I find myself eagerly awaiting any news about his potential return for Community: The Movie. While it is disappointing to hear that Mr. Burton himself seems unsure of his involvement in the project, I remain hopeful that we will finally get the update on the fate of his character that we so desperately need.


In a thrilling turn of events, one of America’s beloved modern comedy icons, Community, is gearing up for a grand farewell with a full-length film. This fan-adored sitcom first graced our television screens back in 2009, treating viewers to an endearingly humorous cast of characters. One character from the series who has become particularly dear to fans is LeVar Burton’s portrayal of himself. With the show making a comeback as a movie, whispers about his potential reappearance in Community: The Movie have begun circulating. Recently, Burton spoke up about these rumors and shared his thoughts on the possibility of a cameo appearance.

LeVar Burton remains unsure of returning for Community: The Movie

When asked about possibly reprising his self-referential role in Community: The Movie, LeVar Burton stated that he was unaware of any plans for his character’s return. However, he did acknowledge that some information about the future of his character should be shared at some point.

As a devoted admirer, I recently got the scoop straight from the horse’s mouth – or rather, LeVar Burton’s! When grilled about those buzzing rumors regarding his potential role in Community: The Movie, he playfully replied, “Just ask Dan Harmon!

Following recurring short stints on the program, the experienced actor, along with long-time cast member Donald Glover, appeared to leave the show together in a 2014 episode named “Geothermal Escapism.” In this episode, they embarked on a global journey aboard Pierce’s ship, known as the Childish Tycoon.

Furthermore, the show later depicted a hijacking of the ship with a news ticker stating “BREAKING NEWS: LeVar Burton and his non-celebrity companion seized by pirates in the Gulf of Mexico” during its Season 5 finale. This versatile artist then mentioned that the fate of his character requires resolution. “That was the last we heard from them,” he said. “They’re on the Childish, as are the pirates.” He also hinted at a possible update.

As I write this, the eagerly anticipated project still doesn’t have a set launch date. Previously, actor Joel McHale admitted to pushing back the movie’s filming schedule. Unfortunately, since then, there haven’t been any significant announcements about when we might finally get to see it on the big screen. I can hardly wait!
