Wicked absolutely dominated 2024. Not only was it a box office smash, it also picked up 10 Academy Award nominations, winning two for Best Achievement in Production Design and Best Achievement in Costume Design.
Now, director Jon M. Chu and Oscar-nominated leading ladies Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande look to defy gravity once again in Wicked: For Good, based on the second act of the beloved Broadway musical. The film's trailer is downright spectacular, but be warned: It also gives away some major twists from the musical and Gregory Maguire's original novel. View with caution if you don't want any spoilers.
Wicked: For Good picks up in the wake of Elphaba's (Erivo) showdown with the Wizard of Oz (Jeff Goldblum). Now wanted for her "wickedness," she fights back against her foes from the shadows.
Meanwhile, Glinda (Grande), embracing her role as "Glinda the Good," has become the mouthpiece for the Wizard and Madame Morrible (Michelle Yeoh). But as the trailer shows, Glinda hasn't abandoned Elphaba. In fact, Glinda hopes to protect Elphaba from the Wizard's quite literal witch hunt. Can this spellbinding pairing find a happy ending for themselves, and for the land of Oz?
On top of focusing on the tight bond between Elphaba and Glinda, Wicked: For Good's latest trailer also highlights some of the songs that will be featured in the movie. The trailer kicks off with Grande's rendition of "Thank Goodness" before switching to Erivo's take on "No Good Deed." Finally, it closes out with the pair joining forces on "For Good," which is guaranteed to give Wicked fans chills. Check out the full trailer above to become as "obsessulated" with the film as Glinda is with her bubble.
Wicked: For Good also stars Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Bowen Yang, and Marissa Bode.
