Wicked is the most Popular movie of the year. However, it was only the first chapter of the tale.
Today, we found out what the second film will called when it comes out on November 21, 2025…It is Wicked For Good!
While we know the title, we still do not know much about it. Since Wicked the Movie is different from the Broadway musical, we don’t know how different the second act will be. Only time will tell. I just wish we didn’t have to wait almost 11 months to know how Good it is going to be.
BTW, if you haven’t seen it yet, what are you waiting for? Dancing through life is not an excuse. Neither is loathing musicals.
I don’t know if you know this, but Cynthia Erivo is not green like her character Elphaba from Wicked. Therefore, it took a lot to make her appear that way. The movie shared a video of her sitting in the makeup chair, going from the woman we know to the witch she became.
After watching that, I am not green with envy with all of the things she had to go through in that process.
If you have not seen Wicked, what are you waiting for?
In case you haven’t heard, Cynthia Erivo is playing Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, in the spectacular movie musical Wicked, which comes out on Friday! And if you didn’t know, Elphaba is green.
Over the last few months, Universal has been doing a media blitz for the film, which feels like an old-school event in so many different ways.
Today, in my opinion, the most brilliant promotion for the feature was revealed. Cynthia Erivo took the Yellow Brick Road to Sesame Street and sang It’s Not Easy Bein’ Green with Oscar the Grouch! And he even had to smile when he heard her angelic voice sing the updated lyrics to Kermit the Frogs song!
You know a movie is going to be huge when Jeopardy gives it its own category before it comes out. Therefore, Wicked is going to be defying gravity in theaters!
That is because Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, John M. Chu, and Jeff Goldblum all asked the contestants five questions witch, I am which, are related to their magical event.
Were the contestants Perfect with their answers, or is Wicked not Popular for that?
Watch and find out.
And for Christmas, Variety reposts that you will be able to watch a sing-along version of the musical in theaters.
By then, you will probably have seen this masterpiece so many times that you will not need the words on the screen to know every word to all of the songs.
