First trailer for Wicked sequel shows Elphaba and Glinda reuniting after finding themselves on opposite sides – and includes a glimpse of Dorothy
The first trailer for Wicked: For Good, the sequel to the smash-hit musical starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, has been released.
The sequel arrives a year after Wicked stormed the global box office, with both films telling the origin stories of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, played by Erivo, and Glinda the Good, played by Grande, from The Wizard of Oz.
Wicked: For Good is an adaptation of the second act of the 2003 stage musical Wicked. The musical was based on Gregory Maguire’s 1995 novel of the same name – which was in turn based on the story first told in L Frank Baum’s 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, adapted into the 1939 film starring Judy Garland as Dorothy Gale.
The trailer for Wicked: For Good shows Elphaba in hiding, for her opposition to the Wizard’s regime, and also teases the arrival of Dorothy, who famously kills Elphaba with a bucket of water in The Wizard of Oz. The actor who will play Dorothy has not yet been named.
