Director <strong><span>Jon M. Chu<\/span><\/strong> has now offered clarity on the scene and what it means for the film\u2019s characters.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Jon M. Chu on whether Glinda recognized the Tin Man on Wicked: For Good<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As Wicked: For Good moves toward its climax, Glinda (Ariana Grande) watches a crowd of Ozians cheer on four \u201cWitch Hunters,\u201d one of whom is a Tin Man who vows he will be \u201cheartless\u201d while hunting Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo). Glinda\u2019s reaction suggests shock, and fans have wondered whether the moment carries a second layer of recognition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The question stems from Boq\u2019s earlier transformation, when Elphaba turns him into the Tin Man in order to save his life after Nessarose (Marissa Bode) misreads the Grimmerie during a spell gone wrong. In the aftermath, Boq awakens in a confused, angry state, ultimately blaming Elphaba for his new form. His resentment fuels his willingness to take part in the witch hunt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Speaking to <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/does-glinda-recognize-tin-man-wicked-for-good-director-reveals-his-interpretation-11855161\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Entertainment Weekly;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Entertainment Weekly<\/a>, Jon M. Chu acknowledged the ambiguity but shared his own interpretation. \u201cI don\u2019t necessarily like to say exactly what it is\u2026 but yeah, in my mind, she knows it\u2019s Boq,\u201d he said. \u201cI think she recognizes, she sees it in his eyes. I think there\u2019s also something she knows inherently and it makes her ask herself, \u2018What has become of this world that I knew?&#8217;\u201d the director added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Chu also explained that Boq has his own defining moment during \u201cMarch of the Witch Hunters.\u201d After briefly meeting Glinda\u2019s gaze, he turns away. According to the director, \u201cThat moment he looks back up to her and then turns away, that is him saying he doesn\u2019t need her anymore \u2014 because he has a new family of hate that\u2019s stronger than love for him. That, to me, was a big moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Based on Gregory Maguire\u2019s bestselling novel, Wicked: For Good picks up after Elphaba is declared the Wicked Witch of the West.
