As a long-time fan of the original Wicked musical, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and trepidation as I eagerly await the release of Wicked: For Good. Having grown up with the story of Elphaba and Glinda, their friendship, rivalry, and ultimately their bond, I have always been captivated by their journey.
Having seen the first movie multiple times, I can attest to the emotional rollercoaster it takes its audience on, and I’m curious to see how director Jon M. Chu will bring that same intensity to the sequel. His statement about things getting “messy” has piqued my curiosity, as I can only imagine what darker, more complex events are in store for our beloved characters.
The cast of Wicked: For Good boasts some incredible talent, including Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo reprising their roles as Galinda/Glinda and Elphaba, respectively. I’m particularly excited to see how they bring the emotional depth required for the climactic “For Good” musical number, a scene that has always resonated with me deeply.
Given the intensity of the emotions involved in this sequence, it’s no surprise that both Grande and Erivo have mentioned that filming it was a challenging experience. I can only imagine the raw emotion they must have poured into their performances, which will undoubtedly make for a powerful viewing experience.
Overall, I am eager to see how Wicked: For Good builds upon the foundation laid by its predecessor and delves deeper into the complexities of the relationships between these iconic characters. With a cast as talented as this one, I have no doubt that it will be a cinematic event not to be missed.
And to lighten the mood, let me share a little joke: I’ve heard rumors that in Wicked: For Good, we might finally get to see Elphaba and Glinda team up to take on the Wizard of Oz once and for all. But if they can’t work together, maybe they can call in Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible to mediate their disagreements!
Things are going to get messy in Wicked: For Good.
Since the debut of Wicked on November 2024’s stage, enthusiasts of the beloved Broadway show are now anxiously looking forward to discovering the plot that awaits them in the sequel, titled Wicked: For Good, which is set to premiere in cinemas later this year.
In casual terms, Director Jon M. Chu subtly suggested that the production of Wicked: For Good might become quite complicated.
What else did Jon M. Chu say about Wicked: For Good?
In his comments, Chu didn’t delve deeper, but the second segment of the Wicked adaptation’s two-part series is anticipated to adopt a grittier and intricate mood. As for whether he believes the audience will embrace the shift in tone, Chu expressed confidence, stating, “I believe they’ll join us on this journey if they follow the emotions portrayed by this film.
Ariana Grande portrays Galinda/Glinda in the musical Wicked. In a sneak peek at the sequel, she discussed the upcoming “For Good” song sequence and the scenes that follow closely around it.
She commented, “The events leading up to it and following were quite an ordeal, indeed.” However, I vividly recall, during that time, feeling as if I had stepped outside of myself and floated for almost a full week.
In the Wicked musical, “For Good” is one of the closing numbers. This poignant duet between Glinda and Elphaba (performed by Cynthia Erivo) offers a heartfelt moment for these characters to convey the impact their friendship has had on each other, as they reminisce about their shared past.
Erivo said that filming the “For Good” sequence was “a lot.”
In the two movies based on Wicked, we have Jonathan Bailey playing Fiyero Tigelaar, Ethan Slater portraying Boq Woodsman, Marissa Bode as Nessarose Thropp, Michelle Yeoh in the role of Madame Morrible, Jeff Goldblum bringing The Wonderful Wizard of Oz to life, and Bowen Yang as Pfannee.
Currently playing in numerous theaters throughout the U.S., Wicked can also be rented or bought on various digital platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Fandango Now, and others as of now. On November 21, 2025, Universal Pictures will release Wicked: For Good for viewing.
