Listen, the internet is happy that it's not James Corden and so am I.

Literally the last post said Chu wanted it to be a surprise.

No but the way I found out that Colman Domingo was playing the lion is that his name was trending along with James Corden's on Twitter. My first thought was "Is Colman Domingo beefing with James Corden?" before I was bombarded with relief tweets from people saying that they were happy it wasn't James Corden. I don't think he was ever truly considered. Most of the speculation seemed to revolve around Jack Black and Lin Manuel Miranda.

I knew that cat would be let out of the bag before the premiere, as soon as the movie was locked.

Thank God. I'm tired of that nepobaby in everything musical.

I'm just curious if Abigail is really Dorothy.

It's exactly that kind of attitude that gave us forgettable songs in Moana 2.

Racism.

It's either that or she was only at the premiere for Part 1 because Abigail was also a Universal flick so she had connections to get an invite. Personally I don't see the harm in showing Dorothy a little more in this. I don't buy the whole "Everyone gets to picture the Dorothy they know" angle because that kind of belittles every other major character from The Wizard of Oz that appears in Wicked.

Racism.

His dad worked with the Clintons. He ain't hurting if he misses a movie or two.

The issue is the movies suffering. Like Moana 2.

Yes this is a great relief for me because I definitely had that thought!

I really need to know why this was the fear. Who put it out in the ether?

Absolutely no idea. I just saw a tweet responding to that article that said something to the effect of “Oh God it’s gonna be James Corden isn’t it” and fell down the fear rabbit hole with them.

Internet: Thank God we don't have James Corden as The Cowardly Lion.

Mom: we have The Cowardly Lion at home.

Cowardly Lion at home:

I feel like this would have been a more valid fear 5 years ago but really, who out there wants to deal with his annoying ass anymore?
