Colman Domingo Cast as Host in The Running Man

Colman Domingo has joined the cast of Edgar Wright's upcoming reboot of The Running Man, where he will portray the host of the violent game show, set for a theatrical release on November 7, 2025. The film is based on Stephen King's novel and features Glen Powell as the protagonist, Ben Richards, a man who participates in the deadly reality show to earn money for his sick daughter. Josh Brolin will play the role of the central villain, a TV executive, marking a shift from the original 1987 film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Wright aims to closely adapt King's narrative, emphasizing the show's oppressive and dystopian elements. Domingo, an Oscar-nominated actor, is recognized for his roles in Rustin and Euphoria, and is expected to bring significant depth to the character of the game show host. The film also features a talented cast including Michael Cera, Lee Pace, and Katy O’Brian, among others.
