26 Nov
Summary
- A passionate kiss scene between Glinda and Fiyero was cut from the Wicked movie.
- Screenwriter felt the deleted scene was too romantic, risking audience dislike.
- Director hinted at possibility of a third Wicked movie, though not confirmed.
A tender kiss scene between Glinda, portrayed by Ariana Grande, and Fiyero, played by Jonathan Bailey, was filmed for the "Wicked" movie but did not make the final cut. Screenwriter Dana Fox revealed that the scene's intense romance was deemed too strong, potentially alienating viewers.
Fox explained that the scene's palpable connection between Glinda and Fiyero might have made it difficult for audiences to accept Fiyero's eventual choice to be with Elphaba. The screenwriter emphasized that while Fiyero cared for Glinda, the deleted scene depicted a love that risked overshadowing his ultimate decision.
Speculation about a third "Wicked" film is ongoing, fueled by the movie's box office success. While no official announcement has been made, Fox expressed enthusiasm for the idea of continuing the story, though she also mused on the beauty of preserving certain narratives as delicate treasures.
