The actor, who plays Sophie Webster's church-going boyfriend Ben Richardson, wants to leave Weatherfield to crack Hollywood.
Lucien, 17, is the third male star to quit the show in as many months. Craig Kelly is leaving his role as factory boss Luke Strong to star in Strictly. And Reece Dinsdale (Gail Platt's lover Joe McIntyre) is also going.
Last night a Street source said: "Top brass are scratching their heads as to why they can't keep hold of their male stars.
"They're surprised as this is Lucien's first big TV role and they had huge plans for his character but he told them he wants to break into movies, and he wants to be the Brit version of Will Smith."
Lucien, who joined a year ago, will leave in November.
