"I was like, 'It's not a ton of lines, but maybe you have a little time. I know you're busy. I'll come to you,' Chu recalled. 'He was like, 'Why the f*ck not, let's go!' And then we went ahead and recorded the lines.'"
"Man, wait until the red carpet when the actor who gave us the Cowardly Lion's voice steps foot on it. It'll be wild."
""Is it true you were her friend?""
The Cowardly Lion debuts in the Wicked: For Good trailer as an animated, wide-eyed version of the Shiz-rescued lion grown up. Scarecrow and Tin Man represent Fiyero and Boq from Part 1, while the lion's voice actor remains unannounced. Director Jon M. Chu said he reached out to a celebrated actor through Instagram DM, recorded the relatively few lines, and predicted a memorable red-carpet reveal when the voice actor appears. Fan speculation quickly followed, with a notable theory suggesting Lin-Manuel Miranda because of his past collaboration with Chu and expressed interest in a Munchkin role.
