Los Angeles – The trailer for the anticipated sequel of the film musical "Wicked" sets the stage for an emotional rollercoaster, shedding light on the gripping continuation of the story between estranged magical friends, Elphaba (portrayed by Cynthia Erivo) and Glinda (Ariana Grande). "Wicked: Part 2" promises to unravel the conclusion of the untold saga of the witches of Oz, hitting theaters on November 20, according to Universal Pictures.
The captivating trailer shows the green-skinned Elphaba in the throes of pursuit, her former friend, the seemingly supportive Glinda by her side. The action picks up from where the first "Wicked" film ended, plunging Elphaba and Glinda into the Emerald City, where they confront the Wizard of Oz (Jeff Goldblum) and the formidable Madame Akaber (Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh). Fans will also be introduced to Prince Fiyero, played by Jonathan Bailey, who pursues his former classmate Elphaba in her exile.
The film's trailer, skillfully directed by Jon M. Chu, includes a glimpse of flying monkeys, a hint of a wedding between Glinda and Fiyero, and heartwarming dialogue between the rival witches. "Besides you, I never had a friend," Elphaba confides in Glinda. "And I had so many friends," Glinda replies. "But only one that really mattered."
The fawning reception for the first "Wicked" film last year, which earned numerous Oscar nominations, sets the bar high for this sequel. Fans have expressed their excitement and anticipation, with some moved to tears by the trailer's emotional moments.
