Colman Domingo Revealed as Cowardly Lion in ‘Wicked: For Good’

BREAKING: The voice of the Cowardly Lion in the highly anticipated film Wicked: For Good has been officially revealed! Director Jon M. Chu announced that the talented Colman Domingo, best known for his roles in Fear the Walking Dead and the Academy Award-nominated films Rustin and Sing Sing, will lend his voice to this iconic character.

This announcement comes just one month before the film’s release on November 21, heightening excitement among fans who have followed the Broadway sensation for years. The official Wicked social media accounts made the revelation, sparking a wave of speculation on who else might be cast in the film. Domingo’s casting is seen as a stellar choice, especially as he is set to appear in yet another highly anticipated release, Edgar Wright’s The Running Man, later in November.

As the Wicked film saga continues, fans are eager to learn more about the remaining mystery roles. While speculation surrounds the casting of the Scarecrow and Tin Man, Universal Pictures has yet to announce the actress playing the beloved character of Dorothy Gale. With the film’s release date approaching, fans are left wondering if more surprises will be unveiled soon.

The plot of Wicked: For Good picks up where the smash hit Wicked (2024) left off, continuing the story of Elphaba, portrayed by Cynthia Erivo, as she battles against the oppressive forces of Oz. Her best friend, Glinda, played by Ariana Grande, navigates her own complex feelings, adding emotional depth to the narrative.

This new film promises to intertwine with the classic tale of The Wizard of Oz, a story that has captivated audiences since the iconic 1939 film. The anticipation is palpable, as fans prepare for another journey into the enchanting world of Oz.
