Wicked: Part 2 Trailer Stirs Excitement for the Sequel
Unveiled: First Glimpse of 'Wicked' Sequel's Official Trailer Released - Teaser unveiled for Wicked follow-up movie
Get ready to dive back into the magical world of Oz as Universal Pictures unveils the first trailer for the highly anticipated sequel to the film musical "Wicked," titled "Wicked: Part 2." Starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, this continuation of the opposing witches' tale promises to be an emotional rollercoaster.
The trailer showcases the green-skinned Elphaba (Erivo) on the run while her former friend, the "good witch" Glinda (Grande), appears to have her back. The storyline resumes where the first "Wicked" film left off, with Elphaba and Glinda meeting the Wizard of Oz (Jeff Goldblum) in the Emerald City and Madame Akaber (Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh) accusing Elphaba of being the "wicked witch." Jonathan Bailey is also featured as Prince Fiyero, who takes up the pursuit of his former classmate Elphaba.
Along with flying monkeys and a hint of Glinda and Fiyero's wedding, the trailer features several emotional moments between the estranged witches. "Besides you, I never had a friend," Elphaba tells Glinda, to which Glinda responds, "And I had so many friends, but only one that truly mattered."
The initial "Wicked" film was a box office success last year and netted multiple Oscar nominations. Fans couldn't contain their enthusiasm upon watching the trailer for the second part, with many expressing that it brought them to tears.
Revisiting the story of Glinda and Elphaba
The continuing saga of "Wicked: Part 2" focuses on the evolving bond between the two witches within the tumultuous political landscape of Oz. A significant part of the narrative will revolve around the complex relationship between Glinda, who is on the rise and preparing to marry Fiyero, and Elphaba, now known as the "Wicked Witch of the West." Elphaba struggles against the Wizard's regime, driven by her determination to protect her sister Nessarose and combat injustice.
As Glinda and Elphaba's friendship faces the ultimate test, Glinda attempts to reconcile Elphaba with the Wizard, but to no avail. Dorothy's arrival from Kansas further complicates matters, leading to a confrontation that forces the witches to unite once more to protect their bond and secure their futures. Ultimately, Elphaba leaves Oz, having faked her death, while Glinda remains behind, undergoing a profound personal transformation.
"Wicked: Part 2" promises to delve deep into themes of love, forgiveness, and the repercussions of past decisions, as it highlights the enduring friendship between Glinda and Elphaba.
