Large spoilers for the whole story of "wicked" - yes, the entire Broadway musical - lies forward, so continue on the road to the yellow bricks with the greatest caution!

During the "wicked: first part" - the beautiful adaptation of Jonon M. Hearing the recognized (and wildly successful) musical (and wildly successful) of Vinnie Holzmann (and wildly successful) Broadway "evil" - we meet a fair number of characters whose stories will take some intense twists and turns into the second half of the film : For good. " The most obvious, of course, is Elfaba Trop (Cynthia Erivo), green skin and ambitious young wizard that ends at the University of SIZ and eventually becomes the wicked witch in the West; Right on her side is Galinda Pland (Ariana Grande-Butter), a student with tiny and pink clothes Who can or may not have legitimate magical abilities And who continues to become Glinda a good witch. What you may not understand, however, is that we have already met the cowardly lion (Bert Lahr), the scarf (Ray Bolger) and Tin Man (Jackec Haley), three companions of Dorothy Gale (Yudi Garland) in 1939 "The Wizard of Oz". So which characters will turn into these three beloved movie characters?

We already know which characters are becoming a scarf and a tin man, and we will soon return to them - but the truth is that the poor cowardly lion is pushed aside somewhere in the musical "wicked". He appears in "Work: First", however, here's where you can notice it.

In "Wicked: The first part", Elfaba realizes that something evil is happening while attending the University of Chiz ... which is that Oz seems to be subordinate and tormented the speaking animals, who have spent years apparently roaming freely among the human population. Elfaba, who knows something or two to make it different, becomes close to one of her professors in SIC, Dr. Dilamond (expressed by Peter Dinklage), a goat who teaches "life science" at the school and goes in great length to say her Students about how the speaking animals are oppressed throughout the Oz. This becomes abundantly clear when Dr. Dilamond is dragged during one of his classes, frightening Elfaba and her fellow students; He is summarized with the fastest and cruel professor Nikidick (Colin Michael Carmihael), who extracts a cage containing a lion and continues to tell the class that he can experiment with the little creature and ensure that he will never speak.

Elfaba is not Great In checking her magical abilities, especially when she feels strong emotions - and as a result of her anger, she accidentally casts a magic in which she participated in a bouquet of poppies she gave Dr. Dilamond before his closure, putting everyone in the room sleeping except to sleep Except to sleep except for Elfaba and Vinki Prince Fijero Tigellar (Athonian Bailey). The two stole the lion's cub, fleeing - putting it in a bicycle basket a lot Recalling the main form of Toto's transport to the "Wizard of Oz" - and released it in the woods, providing its safety before returning to school. This is not only an important scene for Elfaba and Fijero's relationship, but the lion's cub is a lot It is clear that the animal that becomes a cowardly lion, which gives us context for the character.

Unfortunately for this cute little lion, his time in the "wicked: part" can be the most time on the screen he gets in Jonon M.'s two-piece film. Hu. The truth is that the cowardly lion barely appears in the musical "the wicked" - in fact, both he and Dorothy stand out for the benefit of the tin man and the scarf, mainly because those characters experience huge transformations. Tin man was first introduced in the musical story as BoQMuncin, who is in Glinda, is also coveted in the end controlled by Elfaba's younger sister, Nesarose, played in Marisa Bode's film and becomes Munland's governor after Elfaba's father died. To try and keep Bok for his part, Nesaros oppresses Munci and when Bok tries to leave, the future wicked witch of the east casts a magic that goes terribly wrong and almost destroys his heart; Elfaba saves his life by turning him into a man made of tin who does not need a heart. Meanwhile, the scarf without brain is Fijero, And, he is also transformed by the magic that Elfaba throws to try and save him from damage.

In fact, the cowardly lion appears only in the number of act 2 "march of witch hunters" in the music Broadway ... kind. Now the tin man, Bok, angry at Elfaba, is pushing on the lion's tail and accusing him of being "cowardly" and cannot share what the wicked witch in the West has done with a furious crowd. Based on this, we can certainly assume that the lion is likely to play a small role in "Available: For good", which affects theaters and concludes Elfaba's story on November 21, 2025.
