The Cowardly Lion made an appearance in the Wicked: For Good trailer, but the character's identity was hinted at in the first film. Fans were introduced to the Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz. The character, who was famously portrayed by Bert Lahr in the 1939 classic, meets Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland) as she's walking down the yellow brick road. Already accompanied by the Scarecrow and Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion joins the group as they seek out the Wizard.
