Wicked fans are roaring after director Jon M. Chu gave a major hint about the identity of the actor who will be voicing the Cowardly Lion in the colorful sequel. Chu, 45, revealed that he sent a DM to a notable star on Instagram to ask him if he wanted the part in Wicked: For Good. The response he received was pretty iconic if you ask Us. "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,'" the filmmaker recalled while speaking with Deadline on Thursday, October 16.
