Excitement is building for the upcoming film Wicked: For Good, especially as fans eagerly anticipate its final chapter. Last week, director Jon M. Chu sparked curiosity by announcing a surprise voice actor for the Cowardly Lion. Speculation ran wild, but we now have the thrilling reveal.
According to the official Wicked social media channels, the Cowardly Lion will be voiced by the immensely talented Colman Domingo. Known for his standout performances in Fear the Walking Dead and critically acclaimed films like Rustin and Sing Sing, both of which earned him Academy Award nominations, Domingo is sure to bring depth to this beloved character.
Colman Domingo’s versatility makes him a fantastic choice for this pivotal role. With another highly anticipated release, Edgar Wright’s The Running Man, set for November, we can’t help but wonder if we’re in for more surprise casting announcements. Fans have their guesses for the characters of the Scarecrow and the Tin Man, but the role of Dorothy Gale is still shrouded in mystery. Expect official news on that front soon!
Wicked: For Good is hitting theaters on November 21, just a month away! The film continues the captivating story of the Broadway musical, following Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) as she battles the forces of Oz to protect herself and the animals of the realm.
