"A year after dancing into viewers' hearts in the first Wicked film, Jonathan Bailey's Fiyero is even swoonier - and more devastating - in For Good. If you've already watched the latest film (spoilers ahead!), you know it begins with a wanted Elphaba fighting for animals and evading the Gale Force, helmed by a lovesick Fiyero who's desperate to find and protect her. And when he finally does? Oh, Oz."
"When Elphaba crashes Fiyero and Glinda's wedding, the Winkie prince pretends to apprehend her, only to run away with the woman he's truly been pining for. Sound familiar? Several fans on X (formerly Twitter) compared the scene to Anthony, Kate, and Edwina's love triangle in Bridgerton Season 2, which also ended in a failed wedding. As one viewer joked: "if it's jonathan bailey at the end of the aisle, you're not getting married.""
Jonathan Bailey returns as Fiyero with a more swoon-worthy and devastating portrayal. The film opens with wanted Elphaba fighting for animals and evading the Gale Force while a lovesick Fiyero pursues her to protect her. Fiyero stages an apparent apprehension when Elphaba crashes his wedding to Glinda, then abandons the ceremony to run away with the woman he truly loves. Fans compared Fiyero's actions and expressions to Anthony Bridgerton's temperament from Bridgerton Season 2, praised Bailey's expressive performance especially through his eyes, called for awards recognition, and celebrated the intimate duet "As Long as You're Mine."
