Finding out the identity of the voice actor behind the Cowardly Lion in the upcoming movie “Wicked: For Good” has sparked excitement among fans. Director Jon M. Chu has hinted at a big name taking on the role, with speculations running wild about who it could be.
One theory suggests that Lin-Manuel Miranda might be the one voicing the lovable lion, especially after his previous work with Chu on “In the Heights.” Fans are eager to see if Miranda’s wish to be a part of the film will come true through this new role.
Another contender for the voice of the Cowardly Lion is Norbert Leo Butz, known for originating the role of Fiyero on Broadway. There is hope among fans that he will bring his talents to this new character in the movie.
The tradition of cameos by original Broadway stars in “Wicked” continues, with Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth making appearances in the first part. Fans have expressed their desire to see Butz not only play the lion but also potentially feature alongside his real-life wife, Michelle Federer, who originated the role of Nessarose in the musical.
