Colman Domingo has been cast as the Cowardly Lion in Wicked: For Good, ending days of online speculation. The film’s Instagram confirmed the news with a video of Domingo amid plush lions, closing with his “See you in Oz.” Director Jon M. Chu said he approached him via Instagram after teasing a “major star” for the role. The sequel features Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Bowen Yang, Michelle Yeoh and Jeff Goldblum, and continues Elphaba and Glinda’s diverging paths. Wicked: For Good is slated for release on 21 November.
