That year, he also starred as Hark Turner in Nate Parker's The Birth of a Nation, which was based on the story of Nat Turner, an enslaved man who led a slave rebellion in Southampton County, Virginia in 1831. Of his experience shooting The Birth of a Nation, Domingo said: "I've played a Union soldier in Lincoln, head of the White House butler staff in The Butler, and even marched with Selma, but the idea of playing a slave who was going to be a part of this rebellion... I was living in so much darkness for the first couple weeks and I had to really work it out. We were shooting on plantations, and you feel that emotional trauma. It's in the soil; it's in the air. "In 2017, Domingo joined the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as a member of the Actors' Branch, and played a dragonfly in an episode of the fourth season of the Netflix animated series BoJack Horseman. In 2018, Domingo joined the Directors Guild of America as a director on season four of Fear The Walking Dead. He became the first ever actor from the series to helm an episode within The Walking Dead franchise.

That year, he also wrote the book for the Broadway musical Summer: The Donna Summer Musical, and appeared in Barry Jenkins' If Beale Street Could Talk, a film adaptation of the James Baldwin 1974 novel of the same name.

According to The New York Times, Domingo considered "quitting the acting business over the rejection" in 2014 after working as an actor for 30 years due to missing out on several television auditions, including one for a small role on Boardwalk Empire because casting directors allegedly said that his skin was too dark. Domingo described breaking down with emotions after being rejected for a role he and others felt was perfect for him and subsequently decided his talents weren't best used in acting, and he should instead pursue a business in photographing headshots. However, around this time, a friend introduced him to a manager who made some changes with Domingo to his auditioning style and put him forward for different types of roles. These changes helped Domingo to get booked for his breakout role in AMC's The Walking Dead spinoff television series, Fear the Walking Dead, which Domingo has said "gave me a new footing back in the industry, believing I had something to give''."
