Wicked Fiyero Actor Reveals Major Spoiler for Part 2 with Key Easter Egg

If only we could unlock all the intricate Easter eggs nestled within the world of Wicked! Fortunately, Jonathan Bailey has hinted at Fiyero’s storyline for Part 2 in a particularly evocative scene—if you happened to catch it.

With the film’s substantial runtime, viewers are only experiencing half of the narrative in Wicked Part 1. For fans familiar with the stage adaptation, it’s clear that the full story unfolds across two distinct musicals.

Moreover, the new adaptation is intricately linked to the beloved 1939 classic, The Wizard of Oz, which amplifies the number of clever references and lore embedded throughout the film.

Foreshadowing Fiyero’s Scarecrow Transformation

When we first meet Prince Fiyero in the stunning musical sequence “Dancing Through Life,”his pose strikingly resembles that of the Scarecrow. This alignment is likely more than just serendipity.

As audiences anticipate Part 2, which is set to release next year, Fiyero’s transformation into the Scarecrow becomes apparent. Following Elphaba’s shift into the Wicked Witch of the West—at least in the perception of the citizens of Oz—Fiyero searches for her, propelled by his own feelings.

Elphaba’s journey leads to her capture as she attempts to liberate the flying monkeys, but despite being in peril, Fiyero assists her in escaping. This act of bravery soon puts him in danger, prompting Elphaba to invoke a spell from the Grimmerie to safeguard him.

However, the magic comes with complications. To protect him further, Elphaba turns Fiyero into a Scarecrow, a transformation that also prevents him from revealing her location due to his lack of a brain. This clever twist underscores the layered storytelling within the narrative.

Fans have been quick to appreciate these intricacies, with one commenting, “Such a subtle, brilliant Easter egg. Jon Chu, you are a genius on so many levels.”Another follower shared their surprise, stating, “I thought I was the only one who noticed this!” Meanwhile, a third fan reacted, “Holy crap…why did I not even realize this?!”

And let’s not forget, Fiyero isn’t the only character shrouded in hidden meanings—keen-eyed viewers will spot significant clues throughout, particularly surrounding Nessa.
