We also have a new behind the scenes featurette for you to check out that takes us on the set of the film, letting us hear about the story from the stars, as well as the director, Jon M. Chu.
In the sequel: '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 (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 (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 (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 is set to hit theaters on November 21st. While we wait, check out the new posters and featurette below:

Pete Davidson Was ‘Embarrassed' by the Focus on His ‘Big Dick Energy'
Pete Davidson wasn't a fan of the media attention he received during the early years of his career. During an appearance on The Breakfast Club on Wednesday, Davidson reflected on how he was perceived by the public and how it impacted his work on Saturday Night Live. Davidson explained that being a tabloid fixture during his high-profile relationship with ex-fiancée Ariana Grande was often humiliating for him. 'I brought a lot of pop culture into the show,' he said. 'I made it [a] sort of tabloidly, trendy thing, unintentionally. And, also I was embarrassed by it because—now it's starting to change a little bit—but no one talked about any work I was doing. They were just like, 'Oh, that's the fuck stick.' And that hurt so much.'

'I was never on Instagram, you know, flexing that sort of lifestyle at all,' he said. 'I was very embarrassed by it. So I think after a while they understood… But I just want to be clear, no one was outrightly mean by any means.' Host Charlamagne Tha God asked, 'What were you embarrassed by though? You was banging a lot of hot chicks and people knew you had a 10-inch penis.' 'You know, on paper, that sounds great,' Davidson replied. 'But it's embarrassing. Because first of all, it's Hollywood. Everybody fucks everyone. Everybody's dating everybody. Why are they focusing on me? It's because I'm not Glen Powell-handsome. I'm just this dude that tells dick jokes and is a drug addict.' He added, 'Also, that stuff affects relationships. Seeing that and trying to move around and go on dates and just be a young dude who's trying to figure out who he is—I don't want to victimize myself in any way because I'm cool. But the sexualization of me—if that was a girl, people would be like, there would be a march for it. Seriously. You're just talking about my dick all day… They don't talk about girls like that professionally.' The host asked how the rumor about Davidson's 'big dick energy' got started. 'I think it was like the New York Times or something when I started dating someone that I guess they considered out of my league, which I think everyone is out of my league,' he replied. 'They were like, 'This guy must have big dick energy.' And then someone confirmed it.' Davidson said it was exhausting having his relationships be so public. 'I got really tired of my whole career just being my personal life,' he said. 'And living through that is sort of traumatic. Not to be like lame, but it's traumatic to live in your own crap all the time.' Davidson is currently starring in two movies, thriller The Home and heist action comedy The Pickup, which also features Eddie Murphy and Keke Palmer. The comedian and actor recently announced that he's expecting a baby with Elsie Hewitt. He told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, 'For anybody who knows me it's my dream to be a dad, so I'm so excited. Elsie's excited. I'm excited to see her be a mom. So we're stoked.'

Denzel Washington knows all money ain't good money – but he made it all the same
Denzel Washington knows 'all money ain't good money' – but sometimes you've got to put food on the table. The tag line for Spike Lee's latest film 'Highest 2 Lowest,' in whichWashington stars as a music mogul caught in a ransom plot on the eve of abig business deal, had the two-time Oscar winner reflecting on past moneyjobs in an interview with CNN. 'My mother used to say, 'Do what you gotta do, so that you can do what youwant to do' – it's not the other way around,' he recalled. 'When we had four children, I was doing stuff I had to do. You go back andlook in the mid-'90s – I won't mention any movies, I'll just say the mid-'90s,around there.' 'A couple (of movies) for the kids?' chimed in Jeffrey Wright, Washington'sco-star. 'More than a couple for the kids – and the wife, and the house, and thebank, and everybody else,' Washington replied. A quick sweep of his credits around then and you'll find a few duds, sure,but there's also 'Crimson Tide,' 'Philadelphia' and 'The Pelican Brief' (surely he doesn't mean these). And at either end of the '90s, two Spike Lee collaborations, 'He Got Game' (1998) and their masterpiece, 'Malcolm X' (1992). Washington's career has been nothing if not consistently packed with gems. As for his kids, the money jobs paid dividends: John David and Olivia are successful actors, Malcolm a film director, and Katia is a producer. 'Highest 2 Lowest' is Lee and Washington's fifth film together. The actorbrought the script, a reimagining of Akira Kurosawa classic 'High To Low'(1963) – itself based on 1959 novel 'King's Ransom' by Evan Hunter – to the director, for what would be their first collaboration since 2006's 'InsideMan.' Transposing the story of a Japanese shoe executive to the New York musicbusiness, many of the key elements remain. Washington's record exec DavidKing believes his son has been kidnapped, only to learn the kidnapper(A$AP Rocky) has mistakenly taken the son of his chauffer Paul (JeffreyWright). Should King still pay the ransom, even if it drains his bankaccounts, scuppering plans for him to buy back control of his company?What was a clear-cut decision when he thought it was his own flesh andblood is muddied when it's someone else's child. Interestingly, there's more than a little of Spike Lee in David. Both arecultural titans at a stage in their careers when they're weighing their legacywith an unquenchable thirst to create. Both are balancing art andcommerce, and the event horizon of tech pulling their industries in newdirections. Both happen to have exquisite personal art collections – in fact,the production made copies of paintings by Jean-Paul Basquiat, TimOkamura and Kehinde Wiley, among others, which really do belong to Lee. But whereas Lee has embraced his industry's newest players – 'Da 5Bloods' was distributed by Netflix in 2020, and 'Highest 2 Lowest' willdebut on Apple TV+ after A24 distributes theatrically – King is a leerier oftech disruption. He rails at soulless AI-generated music, new artists tryingto gain a following on social media, and his son's Instagram addiction. 'I think we'd all be better off without those addictives in our lives,' offeredWright. 'We were promised harmony; that technology was going to make uswiser, more democratic, more peaceful. That has not been the case. In fact,it's been the opposite. I think it's something we should give some thoughtto: Where are we going with all this?' Does Washington share any of the same concerns as his character? In aword: no. 'They don't affect me to the degree that they affect the character, because Idon't rely on those things for my happiness or my peace,' he reflected. 'Idon't make money off those kinds of things.' 'I don't need to be known, you know? I like being quiet,' he added. The acting legend, who was baptized and became a minister at the end of 2024, has entered his zen era, content to reel off aphorisms about fame and filmmaking; taking shots while walking backwards into his own mystique. 'If they see you for free all week, they won't pay for you at the weekend,'he said. It's the same warning he reportedly gave to Michael B. Jordanabout the danger of movie star over-exposure. So no, don't go looking for him on Instagram, or anywhere else but the big(or small) screen. 'All those so-called Instagram accounts, if my name is connected it, you'vebeen had. You've been took. Hoodwinked. Bamboozled,' he said, gleefully. 'Highest 2 Lowest' is released in US cinemas on August 15 before debuting
