The second part of Wicked, the hit Broadway musical turned movie, directed by Jon M Chu, has a trailer for the second instalment.
Starring Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Jonathan Bailey and Peter Dinklage, Wicked – For Good is about Elphaba (Erivo), the future Wicked Witch of the West and her relationship with Glinda (Grande), the Good Witch of the North.
It’s true, I still haven’t seen Wicked, on film or stage. One day I might. However, right now, my aversion to musicals keeps me enjoying the works of my favourites, Bailey, Erivo, and Grande via other ‘non-musical movie’ avenues.
As always, this new film makes me happy for the super fans, especially since I’ve only heard great things about the first instalment.
Have you seen Wicked (2024)?
Jeff Goldblum, Llyrio Boateng, Michelle Yeoh, Ethan Slater, Bronwyn James, Marissa Bode, Bowen Yang, Adam James, Erin Battle and Joel Stern also star.
Wicked – For Good Release Dates: November 21st 2025 (US & UK)…

The Movie My Life 
The first one was great, and it’s truly a musical through and through. Minimal respite from singing. No wonder you haven’t seen it, perhaps, “yet.”
😁! You see me! 🤓🥂
Wicked is based on Act One of the play and For Good is based on Act Two. I think Act One has much more iconic songs that the first movie pulled off very well. The only thing I’m really looking forward to in For Good are the connections to the Wizard of Oz.
They were wise to split it like that. I suspect part two will also be a hit.
It gets like that with some musicals; the great music is crammed into one half. At least that’s the case with my minimal experience. A reminder that writing great songs isn’t easy.
It’s still on my watchlist and I had no idea there will be a second part!
Happy to be the bearer of such great news. 🤓🥂
