The wait is almost over. Universal Pictures has unveiled the final trailer for ‘Wicked: For Good,’ the climactic chapter of Jon M. Chu’s dazzling two-part adaptation of the global stage sensation. Returning to the land of Oz for one last spellbinding journey, the film brings audiences face-to-face with the shattered bond, dangerous truths, and ultimate destiny of Elphaba and Glinda.
Once again directed by award-winning filmmaker Jon M. Chu (In the Heights, Crazy Rich Asians), the breathtaking fantasy features the triumphant return of its iconic leads: Academy Award® nominee Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Grammy Award winner Ariana Grande as Glinda. Together, their performances anchor a story of friendship tested, love lost, and courage against impossible odds.
The Witches’ Final Reckoning
Elphaba (Erivo) is in exile, branded across Oz as the fearsome Wicked Witch of the West. From her hidden refuge in the forests, she continues her fight to liberate the Animals of Oz and reveal the sinister truths behind The Wizard (Jeff Goldblum).
Meanwhile, Glinda (Grande) basks in the shimmering spotlight of Emerald City. Crowned the radiant face of Goodness, she embraces her new life at the palace, carefully groomed by the manipulative Madame Morrible (Oscar® winner Michelle Yeoh). Her glittering rise is matched by her romance with Prince Fiyero (Jonathan Bailey), with the Emerald City preparing for a wedding unlike any other. Yet beneath the pageantry, Glinda is haunted by the growing chasm between herself and the friend she left behind.
