Starring Cynthia Erivo (Elphaba) and Ariana Grande (Glinda). Evil has exploded into theaters drawing great attention for its plot staying true to the original Broadway musical.
Since this was only part of the story, many fans have been wondering who will be the Lion, the Tin Man and the Scarecrow as seen at the beginning of the movie. The Wizard of Oz.
More specifically, what happens to Fiyero, based on Jonathan Bailey’s musical Bad part two 21/11/2025?
Why Elphaba turns Fiyero into Scarecrow
Elphaba turned Fiyero into a Scarecrow Evil is one of the musical’s most poignant moments, giving viewers a glimpse into his complicated relationship with magic and the unintended consequences of his actions.
During the song “No Good Deed” in Act 2, Elphaba casts a spell to protect Fiyero from torture and death at the hands of the wizard’s guards.
Although his intentions are noble, the spell has a surprising side effect – it turns Fiyero into a Scarecrow. This change allows him to survive, but fundamentally alters his existence.
The randomness of Fiyero’s transformation reflects a recurring theme nasty – the unpredictability of magic. Earlier in the story, Elphaba struggles with the spell, such as when she accidentally gives the monkeys wings, as in the new Part one movie.
Through these moments, Evil explores the moral unpredictability of power and shows how well-intentioned actions can lead to undesirable outcomes.
Elphaba’s romantic relationship with Fiyero also adds emotional weight to her transformation. At first, Fiyero is engaged to Glinda, but his bond with Elphaba deepens as he supports her rebellious ideals.
When Fiyero risks her life to save him, Elphaba’s desperation to protect him shows their love and her willingness to defy fate. This act of defiance also complicates his (already complicated) friendship with Glinda, highlighting the intertwined personal and political tensions in their lives.
Ultimately, Fiyero’s change acts as a bridge between Evil and The Wizard of Oz. As the Scarecrow, he takes on a new role in the mythology of Oz and aligns himself with Dorothy while maintaining his hidden loyalty to Elphaba.
Fortunately for Elphaba and Fiyero, The Wicked Witch of the West never quite melts, leading to a hopeful future for these two misunderstood characters.
Evil is now playing in theaters worldwide.
