Ahead of Season 3 of Euphoria, the Oscar-nominated actor will star in 2 films that will be released on the same day in France.

Director John M. Chu announced: Wicked fans were in for a surprise when they previewed the second installment of the adaptation of the stage phenomenon, as there was the identity of the actor who voices the Cowardly Lion in our theaters on November 19, which takes place alongside the first half of The Wizard of Oz.

Did the feature film distributor then realize that keeping the secret until then would be difficult? Just as Warner’s Ania Taylor-Joy cameo in Dune 2 was revealed on the London red carpet, Universal decided to take the lead. Therefore, the lion will be voiced in the original version…

While many fans were thinking of Lin-Manuel Miranda, whose musical comedy In the Heights Jon M. Chu adapted for the big screen, it was Colman Domingo who was expected to be cast in Euphoria season 3 in the spring, and we can only rejoice because his talent no longer needs to be demonstrated. Both in live action and in animation, in which he tried his hand especially with Ruby, Kraken Teen, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts or the series Your Faithful Servant Spider-Man, where he plays Norman Osborn.

But he’s shown his intensity and acting precision in live-action, Fear the Walking Dead, and most notably Euphoria (if you ever doubt his talent, watch or rewatch Rue to refresh your memory) and movies like Candyman, The Color Purple (another year that came out with a rolling S). His second Best Actor Oscar nomination. A new adaptation of Edgar Wright’s Running Man, in which he plays the over-excited host of a deadly game show, is awaiting release… November 19 Like Wicked – Part II.

Running Man, Wicked: Colman Domingo’s double bill

Where it won’t be physically, of course, but there’s a form of logic when you see someone who’s also a theater teacher shine in a film adaptation of a phenomenon born on the stage. And there’s no doubt that she’ll be able to bring all her sensitivity to bear on the fear that inhabits Dorothy’s traveling companion, even if her role is very secondary in continuing the story of Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) and Glinda (Ariana Grande).

“I told him there wouldn’t be many lines, but if he had some time – and I knew he was very busy – I was ready to see him.”says John M. Shut up termClarified that he contacted Coleman Domingo directly (without quoting him) through Instagram. “And he said, ‘Why the hell not, let’s go!’ So we went ahead and recorded his lines.” We don’t yet know who will be lending his voice to The Lion in France, but if you went to the original Wicked sequel and the tone of the character sounded familiar, now you know who it is. Especially if you’ve seen Running Man before.
