The final trailer for the anticipated Wicked: For Good has been released, showing Elphaba and Glinda’s bittersweet reunion as the Wizard of Oz continues casting Elphaba as the villain of Oz while she resists his regime.
Wicked: For Good is based on the second act of the hit Broadway musical Wicked which tells the untold story of the Wicked Witch of the West’s origin and what truly happened in Oz. It is based off the book of the same name by Gregory Maguire with the adaptations directed by Jon M. Chu.
Along with the iconic songs from the play, the film will feature two new songs written for Elphaba’s Cynthia Erivo and Glinda’s Ariana Grande. The songs are ‘No Place Like Home’ for Erivo and ‘The Girl in the Bubble’ for Grande with both songs written by the musical’s creator Stephen Schwartz. Check out the trailer below…
Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), now demonized as The Wicked Witch of the West, lives in exile, hidden within the Ozian forest while continuing her fight for the freedom of Oz’s silenced Animals and desperately trying to expose the truth she knows about The Wizard (Jeff Goldblum).
Glinda, meanwhile, has become the glamorous symbol of Goodness for all of Oz, living at the palace in Emerald City and reveling in the perks of fame and popularity. Under the instruction of Madame Morrible (Oscar® winner Michelle Yeoh), Glinda is deployed to serve as an effervescent comfort to Oz, reassuring the masses that all is well under the rule of The Wizard.
As Glinda’s stardom expands and she prepares to marry Prince Fiyero (Olivier award winner and Emmy and SAG nominee Jonathan Bailey) in a spectacular Ozian wedding, she is haunted by her separation from Elphaba. She attempts to broker a conciliation between Elphaba and The Wizard, but those efforts will fail, driving Elphaba and Glinda only further apart. The aftershocks will transform Boq (Tony nominee Ethan Slater) and Fiyero forever, and threaten the safety of Elphaba’s sister, Nessarose (Marissa Bode), when a girl from Kansas comes crashing into all their lives.
As an angry mob rises against the Wicked Witch, Glinda and Elphaba will need to come together one final time. With their singular friendship now the fulcrum of their futures, they will need to truly see each other, with honesty and empathy, if they are to change themselves, and all of Oz, for good.
Wicked: For Good features Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Jeff Coldblum, Michelle Yeoh, Jonathan Bailey, Marissa Bode, Ethan Slater, Bowen Yang, Bronwyn James and Sharon D. Clarke.
Wicked: For Good flies into cinemas worldwide on November 21st, 2025.
