One fan shared, “I’m so happy about Colman, I’m actually crying! This has made me even more excited than I already was!”
People online were thrilled with the voice reveal. One user exclaimed they were “obsessulated” by it, echoing director Jon M. Chu’s prediction, while another praised the actor as truly deserving of the celebration.
“Surprised they shared this before the premiere, but I am so thrilled!” wrote another.
In a recent interview with *Deadline*, Chu explained that he initially contacted Domingo through a message on Instagram.
I remember when I asked him if he’d be up for recording a few lines, knowing he was super busy. I figured it wasn’t a huge ask, and I offered to go to him. He was so enthusiastic – he basically said, ‘Why wouldn’t I?’ and we jumped right into recording!
He said it’s going to be amazing when the actor famous for voicing the Cowardly Lion walks the red carpet.
Wicked: For Good is released in cinemas on 21 November.
