Universal’s two-part movie adaptation of the famous Broadway musical based on ‘The Wizard of Oz’ dropped its first part on November 22, 2024.

Dinklage voices Dr. Dillamond, a goat, who is a history professor at Shiz University. He is the one who warns Elphaba about the dark forces. In ‘Wicked: For Good,’ Elphaba, after challenging the Wizard’s totalitarian regime in Oz, must grapple with her identity as the “Wicked Witch of the West.” Meanwhile, the Wizard has given Glinda the title “Glinda the Good” and a public status as the nation’s defender against Elphaba. The two witches must make decisions that seal their fates. Jon M. Chu helms both films.

4. Lear Rex (TBA)
Helmed by Bernard Rose, ‘Lear Rex’ is an adaptation of William Shakespeare’s tragic play ‘King Lear.’ Dinklage will play the role of the Fool. The plot follows an aging King (Lear) who divides his kingdom among his two elder daughters (Goneril and Regan), giving none to his loving youngest (Cordelia) after she chooses not to feign love, unlike Goneril and Regan. Soon, the elder daughters banish their father from the kingdom and abandon him to exile. Jessica Chastain will play Goneril, Rachel Brosnahan will play Regan, and Ariana DeBose will play Cordelia. Al Pacino will play King Lear. Other cast members include Ted Levine, Danny Huston, Stephen Dorff, Chris Messina, and LaKeith Stanfield. ‘Lear Rex’ is in its post-production stage, and more details, including a release date, are awaited.
5. The Shitheads (TBA)
Dinklage will star alongside Dave Franco and O’Shea Jackson in Macon Blair’s comedy movie ‘The Shitheads.’ Written by Blair and Alex Orr, the movie follows rock-bottom drivers Mark (Franco) and Davis (Jackson), tasked with transporting a rich, troubled teen named Sheridan to rehab. While Davis is an outright cynical guy and Davis is an idealist, an unlikely combo, the task appears simple. Unfortunately, Sheridan has something else in mind. Soon, the transfer takes the shape of a chaotic ride fueled by drugs, criminals, and, of course, danger. Having no idea how to deal with it all, Mark and Davis must do whatever it takes to complete their objective, and the first step towards that is to accept that it’s not the destination that matters, it’s the ”shitheads” one meets during the journey. Currently in the scripting stage, the movie is yet to begin filming.
6. Dexter: Resurrection Season 2 (TBA)
Dinklage will return as Leon Prater in Season 2 of ‘Dexter: Resurrection.’ Though Season 1 hasn’t ended, the series is all set to film the second season in the fall of 2025.

Hall as Dexter Morgan, the cast also includes Uma Thurman as Charley, Jack Alcott as Harrison Morgan, David Zayas as Angel Batista, Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine as Blessing Kamara, and Kadia Saraf as Detective Claudette Wallace.
