The ‘Wicked’ Movie Will Release Soon! All the Information You Need to Know About the Plot and Cast

Greetings, Ozians! The official Wicked movie trailer has just been released, and even The Wizard himself remarked on how magnificent and green it was. Additionally, he gave us Ozzies the task of learning everything there is to know about the Wicked movie trailer and the clips that fans can watch from the highly awaited musical.

There are now three Wicked films, including this one that is coming out soon. First, in 1995, Gregory Maguire penned his best-selling novel. The popular novel was adapted for the stage by Broadway in the musical Wicked, which has been running for 20 years and has received three Tony awards.

What is ‘Wicked’ about?

As a preface to The Wizard of Oz, Wicked imagines the history between the two witches prior to Dorothy’s arrival. The narrative of Maquire centres on Elphaba Thropp, who must contend with being the only person of colour at Shiz University. She meets Galinda there, and she couldn’t be more different from her. In other scenes, speaking animals are being imprisoned throughout Oz, and Fiyero, a newcomer, arrives in town with the intention of stirring up trouble and winning the favour of the witches. A contest of daring, bravery, and intellect is about to ensue.

Will the ‘Wicked’ movie follow the musical?

Right now, it’s unknown if the movie will adhere precisely to the musical or if only the basic idea would be the same. Many of the minor story aspects were adjusted to make the production less grim and more family-friendly when the producers adapted the novel for Broadway.

However, the Broadway show’s co-lyricists, Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman, have revealed that the film would feature at least four new songs. One of those songs was removed from the original Broadway play, while the other three are brand-new compositions.

Who is starring in the ‘Wicked’ movie?

There is no doubting the A-list cast of the Wicked movie. Ariana Grande is slated to play Glinda, Jonathan Bailey of Bridgerton will portray Fiyero, and Cynthia Erivo will portray Elphaba. Bowen Yang, Marissa Bode, Peter Dinklage, Jeff Goldblum, and Michelle Yeoh are also anticipated to make appearances.

“This moment, this film, these people, this cast, this crew, this director, my Glinda, were the grandest gift I could ever have asked for, and I am eternally grateful for the chance to bring you This Elphie,” Erivo wrote in an Instagram caption in 2023. “I am endlessly grateful to play a role that turns the notion of what beauty is on its head. I am endlessly grateful to be working with some of the most beautiful souls on the planet. “I hope when you meet her, you’ll love her as much and as fiercely as I do.”

With the exception of a few brief social media tweets here and there, the cast has not revealed much about what audiences can anticipate from the film or their feelings over starring in such a large-scale production.

When does the ‘Wicked’ movie come out?

There are two sections to the Wicked movie that will be released. The first part, which is the subject of the trailer, will be released in theatres on November 27, 2024, and the second part on November 26, 2025.

If you can’t wait that long to go down the yellow brick road, Hulu has the popular movie Oz the Great and Powerful and Max has the classic Wizard of Oz movie available for streaming.
