Colman Domingo is many things, including a brilliant Academy Award-nominated actor, a stylish king, a lecturer, and even a playwright. Now, he’s adding yet another thing to his resume: a lion. Domingo is now a part of Wicked: For Good’s cast as the voice of the Cowardly Lion. As we know, we will see Dorothy and her friends to some degree in this film, although they will not be a focal point of the story.
We learned this wonderful news via a very adorable Instagram video shared by Wicked’s official page as well as Colman Domingo’s profile. There’s a dancing stuffed lion that reveals Domingo’s face, where he tells us that he will see us in Oz before giving a sly wink. We can already imagine the greatness that he will bring to Wicked: For Good on November 21. Can you imagine what he will wear on the red carpet?! He certainly doesn’t miss with his style choices.
Fans in the comments have nothing but excited energy about the news that Domingo will be the Cowardly Lion in Wicked: For Good. And honestly, we are just as thrilled at this wonderful news. We love an icon joining what will surely be another iconic film.
