Wicked sequel's initial trailer unveiled
🎬 Boom! Here's the scoop on "Wicked: For Good" 🎵
Los Angeles - Sit tight and buckle up, folks! The electrifying trailer for part 2 of the film musical spectacle "Wicked" is here, promising an emotional rollercoaster of a continuation of the beloved story of rival witches, Glinda and Elphaba. Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo enthrall us as estranged besties in the magical realm of Oz.
Prepare for the grand concluding chapter of the untold story of the witches of Oz, expected to grace our screens on November 20 (yep, Universal Pictures confirmed it!).
Fleeing on the lam, our green-skinned diva, Elphaba (Erivo), can be seen dodging danger, while her blonde counterpart, the "good witch" Glinda (Grande), seems to be watching her back. Their jaunt in the Emerald City finds them crossing paths with the Wizard of Oz (Jeff Goldblum) and Madame Morrible (Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh) declaring Elphaba the "wicked witch." Jonathan Bailey takes the role of Prince Fiyero, pursuing his old college chum, Elphaba.
The riveting trailer, under the guidance of director Jon M. Chu, features a slew of familiar clashes between the combo of green and pink gal pals, Glinda and Elphaba. "I've never had a friend like you," Elphaba tells Glinda. "And I had so many friends," Glinda responds with a hint of bitter sweet melancholy. "But only one that truly mattered." 💔
