The movie and actor's Instagram accounts shared the news on Monday, after Jon M. Chu last week made headlines when he teased a big-name actor attached to the role. Domingo joins an already star-studded slate with Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande starring as Elphaba (now known as the Wicked Witch of the West in the second film) and Glinda (or Glinda the Good), respectively. The Cowardly Lion is one of a few new characters introduced in Wicked: For Good that hail from the mainstay story of The Wizard of Oz. The Tin Man, Scarecrow and Dorothy's appearances have all been teased in the beginning of Wicked and subsequent teasers for the sequel. None of the actors who stepped into those roles have been revealed yet.

To add to the high-profile cast, Jonathan Bailey also stars as Prince Fiyero, Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible and Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard. Both Erivo and Glinda were nominated for Oscars for their portrayal of the beloved witches, as the original 2024 film earned a total of 10 Academy Award noms and two wins. The forthcoming second Wicked film flies into theaters Nov. 21., and will pick up following the events of the first movie.
