Universal Pictures has shared a brand-new “First Look” featurette for Wicked: For Good, offering fans a deeper glimpse into the sequel, along with two newly released posters of Elphaba and Glinda, portrayed by Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.
The first Wicked film broke records as the most successful Broadway-to-film adaptation ever, grossing $729 million globally. The sequel continues the untold story of the witches of Oz.
Directed again by Jon M. Chu, Wicked: For Good picks up with Elphaba now cast as The Wicked Witch of the West, living in the Ozian forest. She continues to resist The Wizard’s regime and fight for the rights of Oz’s Animals, while trying to reveal the truths she uncovered.
Meanwhile, Glinda has embraced her public image as Oz’s symbol of Goodness, living in the Emerald City under Madame Morrible’s direction (played by Michelle Yeoh). As she prepares to marry Prince Fiyero (Jonathan Bailey), Glinda becomes increasingly unsettled by her unresolved bond with Elphaba.
The narrative also sees the return of key characters like Boq (Ethan Slater), Nessarose (Marissa Bode), and new faces Pfannee and ShenShen, played by Bowen Yang and Bronwyn James. Sharon D. Clarke voices Dulcibear, Elphaba’s former nanny.
As tensions rise in Oz and old friendships are tested, Elphaba and Glinda face one final turning point.
Wicked: For Good arrives in theatres worldwide on November 21.
