Following Wicked\u2019s blockbuster release<\/a> last year, there\u2019s a ton of excitement brewing for Part 2 of the fantasy movie musical starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. The official Wicked: For Good trailer is finally out to the public, following its debut at a special screening of the first film on June 4.<\/p>\n Directed by Jon M. Chu, the Wicked films are based on the Tony-winning Broadway musical \u201cWicked,\u201d which itself was inspired by Gregory Maguire\u2019s 1995 novel reimagining the iconic characters from The Wizard of Oz. The movie was split into two parts; Wicked: Part One was released on Nov. 22, 2024, while the second part, later renamed Wicked: For Good, will debut later in 2025.<\/p>\n Forbes\u2018Wicked\u2019 Is Now Streaming \u2014 How To Watch The Blockbuster Musical At HomeBy Monica Mercuri<\/a><\/p>\n For one day only on July 4, Wicked returned to the big screen for a nationwide special screening at a set time, allowing everyone to experience the movie together.

Check out the over two-minute sneak peek below, which also teases a few major changes from the stage play.<\/p>\n One major spoiler revealed in the trailer is that Dorothy Gale will have a bigger role in the films than in the musical, where she was only shown as a shadow. In the trailer, Dorothy and her friends are seen walking down the Yellow Brick Road on their way to see the Wonderful Wizard of Oz.<\/p>\n \u201cThat intersection is the place that we were first introduced into Oz,\u201d Chu told Vanity Fair<\/a> of Dorothy\u2019s role in the films. \u201cWe tread lightly, but try to make more sense of how it impacts our girls and our characters than maybe the show does.\u201d And for the fans who might be nervous because of that change, he responded, \u201cWe\u2019re delicate. We\u2019re delicate. We\u2019re delicate.\u201d<\/p>\n In the trailer, fans can also hear part of a song that may not be recognizable from the original musical, possibly hinting at one of the two new songs written for Part 2. Additionally, Glinda is seen wearing a wedding dress, suggesting she may be walking down the aisle to marry Jonathan Bailey\u2019s Fiyero \u2013 something that doesn\u2019t happen in the beloved stage production.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s life or death for all of them, so a wedding seemed appropriate,\u201d Chu confirmed to Vanity Fair. He added that their nuptials could also heighten the ante for Glinda\u2019s relationship with Fiyero and her friendship with Elphaba. \u201cIt\u2019s harder to forgive certain things in certain scenarios,\u201d he said. \u201cIt makes it more complicated.\u201d<\/p>\n When Is Wicked: For Good Coming Out?<\/p>\n “Wicked” movie from Universal Pictures.<\/p>\n Courtesy of Universal Pictures<\/p>\n Wicked: For Good will premiere in theaters on Nov. 21, 2025 \u2013 almost exactly one year after the release of the first film.<\/p>\n What Will Wicked: For Good Be About?<\/p>\n “Wicked” movie from Universal Pictures.<\/p>\n Courtesy of Universal Pictures<\/p>\n Wicked: For Good picks up after the events of Part One, where Elphaba and Glinda discover that the Wizard is a fraud, and Elphaba is declared the new enemy of Oz.<\/p>\n The next chapter will focus on the lead-up to The Wizard of Oz, including how Elphaba becomes the Wicked Witch of the West and how Glinda becomes the Good Witch. \u201cIn full control of her powers, Elphaba is declared an enemy of the state by the Wizard and Madame Morrible,\u201d the synopsis reads.<\/p>\n \u201cI think the meat of what Wicked is all about happens in movie two. To me, this is why this story exists,\u201d Chu also teased to Vanity Fair. \u201cThis is where our childhood dreams collide with our adult selves.\u201d<\/p>\n When Was Wicked: For Good Filmed?<\/p>\n “Wicked” movie from Universal Pictures.<\/p>\n Courtesy of Universal Pictures<\/p>\n Wicked: For Good was filmed back-to-back with Wicked: Part One from December 2022 to July 2023, with production wrapping in January 2024 due to delays caused by the Hollywood strikes.<\/p>\n Chu also confirmed to Vanity Fair that the movie was shot simultaneously in the UK.<\/p>\n \u201cA lot of movie two was shot before some of the stuff in movie one,\u201d Chu said, adding that this forced Erivo and Grande to carefully map out the time jumps. \u201cWe had big boards with what timeline we\u2019d be in, and they had notes all over their script so we could all be in sync of where we\u2019re at.”<\/p>\n The director compared the process of editing For Good to delving into a time capsule, and he also teased that some parts of the sequel will shed light on choices made in Part One. \u201cThings that you may have noticed in movie one, you\u2019ll see why those things are there,\u201d he continued. \u201cIt is designed to be seen big and felt deeply.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s currently unknown how long the sequel will be. The first cut for Wicked: Part One was close to four hours long before it was edited down to 2 hours and 40 minutes.<\/p>\n What Songs Will Be Featured In Wicked: For Good?<\/p>\n “Wicked” movie from Universal Pictures.<\/p>\n Courtesy of Universal Pictures<\/p>\n Wicked: For Good is expected to feature beloved hits from the second half of the Broadway musical, including \u201cAs Long As You\u2019re Mine\u201d and \u201cFor Good.\u201d However, viewers will also get to hear two new songs written specifically for the films, composer-lyricist <\/strong>Stephen Schwartz confirmed to The Messenger<\/a> in December 2024.<\/p>\n \u201cThe storytelling required it, and therefore they were created,\u201d Schwartz said of the additions. \u201cThe intention was that they were organic and not imposed on the movie.\u201d<\/p>\n
