Academy Award nominated actor Colman Domingo (Lincoln, Selma, Fear the Walking Dead) has joined the cast of director Edgar Wright’s upcoming adaptation of The Running Man. Domingo is set to play the host of the world’s most dangerous game show.

The Running Man is a dystopian story set in a future society where the government controls everything. The story follows Ben Richards, a desperate and impoverished man who participates in a deadly game show called The Running Man to win money for his family.

The Running Man will be released in theaters on November 7, 2025.
