Catching Up with the Wicked Witches: Trailer for "Wicked 2" Hits the Scene!
Trailer debuts for follow-up to "Wicked" movie - Trailer unveiled for Wicked sequel's premiere
Get ready, folks! The trailer for the sequel to the smash-hit film musical "Wicked" is here, and it's packing a punch! This time around, the green-skinned Elphaba (played by the fabulous Cynthia Erivo) and her former buddy, Glinda the "good" witch (Ariana Grande), are at it again in the magical land of Oz.
The trailer picks up right where the first "Wicked" film left off; Elphaba is being chased, and her estranged friend, Glinda, is seen offering aid. The story takes a dramatic turn as Elphaba and Glinda meet the Wizard of Oz (Jeff Goldblum) in Emerald City, with Madame Akaber (Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh) declaring Elphaba the "wicked witch." Jonathan Bailey joins the cast as Prince Fiyero, who's hot on Elphaba's tail.
The sequel, titled "Wicked: For Good," serves as the final chapter of these witches' untold story. It brings together flying monkeys, a potential wedding between Glinda and Fiyero, and everything in between, complete with heart-wrenching conversations between the rival witches. "I never had a friend but you," Elphaba confesses to Glinda. "And I had so many friends," Glinda responds. "But only one that really mattered."
Fans couldn't contain their excitement following the trailer release, with comments pouring in—tears included! The first "Wicked" film was a massive hit last year and scored numerous Oscar nominations. Now, we're eagerly waiting for the heart-pounding conclusion to hit theaters on November 21, 2025.
Although filming locations like Cairo, Egypt, were kept under wraps, the first trailer made its debut during special screenings of "Wicked" in select U.S. and Canadian theaters in June 2025[1][2][4].
So, mark your calendars for next November, and get ready to immerse yourself in the final chapter of the epic saga between Elphaba and Glinda!
