The First Wicked: For Good Poster Has Been Spotted, And I've Been Changed By Ariana Grande's New Glinda Gown

One of my most highly-anticipated titles on the 2025 movie schedule is most definitely the highly anticipated Wicked: For Good. To say that I was blown away by its predecessor would be an understatement. I've even been poring over the foreshadowing details I noticed during my rewatch of the first film. Considering all of that, I'm hyped to see the first look at the sequel's poster, which shows off Ariana Grande's new Glinda costume.
Starting on Monday, attendees of Las Vegas' CinemaCon will be treated to previews of some of the biggest movies of the coming year. Just ahead of the convention's start, a journalist for Cinepop spotted the official first poster of Wicked: For Good on one of the elevators. Take a look:
How gorgeous is that?! Cinepop shared a photo of a banner to X as well. The breathtaking poster once again features Cynthia Erivo (who wore practical green makeup) as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda, but it's clear some time has passed. Elphaba is on the left of the poster and can be seen sporting a new, black costume and the same hat Glinda gave her during the 'Dancing Through Life' sequence. She's also holding her broom. But I am especially floored by Grande's pink and blue gown. She's fully Glinda-fied!
Now, we've already seen the actress take on Glinda from the original The Wizard of Oz when she wore that stunning pink dress at the beginning of Wicked. Yet this look is just another level of beauty. I especially love the sleeves that stick up and translucent sleeves. Jon M. Chu's film won Best Costume Design at the Oscars this year, and it's clear Paul Tazewell put in serious work.

As for the overall poster, it shows the two lead characters standing on different ledges to symbolize how they'll be living different lives in different regions of Oz after their falling out. The tagline is also 'You will be changed' which is perfect given its lyrics from their Act II song 'For Good.'
Other details to note are the yellow brick road between them and the flying monkeys in the background of the scene. I'm, of course, instantly jealous of what the CinemaCon attendees will likely see of the second movie when Universal holds its showcase. But, since CinemaBlend will be in attendance, you'll get to hear about what's ultimately screened this coming next. During last year's presentation, the studio brought out Erivo and Grande, Jon M. Chu and other cast members along with the first footage from the movie.
Chu has been teasing Wicked: For Good, and I've been very excited to see how the filmmakers and cast adapt the second half of the Broadway musical. So, while I don't need a poster to get me excited, the sight of the new costumes, especially Grande's mesmerizing gown, definitely amps up my anticipation levels. Be sure to check out the film when it opens in theaters on November 21.

Mixtape sent a sherpa up a mountain to get the rights to use a song, and Grand Theft Auto has "nothing on our toilet paper tech"
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Mixtape is a coming of age story that's a literal mixtape of music, gameplay and art styles. It focuses on three friends spending their last night together, with a perfect mixtape of music to accompany their final adventure as friends. It's also, according to creative lead Johnny Galvatron, got GTA beating toilet paper tech and getting the rights to use one song involved sending someone up a mountain. Wishlist Mixtape on Steam now Mixtape is odd to explain initially but instantly makes sense when you see it in action. "The music is a mixtape and so is the gameplay," says Galvatron. "There's everything from skateboarding to pulling slushies; there's an amazing level where your toilet paper a house. I just have to say, our toilet paper tech is second to none. The way you can toilet paper that house? I'm extremely proud of that. Grand Theft Auto? Nothing on our toilet paper tech." Even without the soundtrack it's an interesting clash of genres with a distinctive art style. But it is all about the music. "On their last night together [three friends] listen to this perfectly curated mixtape, containing music from DEVO, Roxy Music, Lush, The Smashing Pumpkins, Iggy Pop, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division, The Cure and many more," he explains. "Through the gameplay, through the music, you relive their finest hours." Getting a soundtrack with such a high pedigree wasn't easy either. "One of the things I enjoyed the most was collating the soundtrack and then getting the wheels in motion for how to get that music," admits Galvatron. "I'm not saying it was The Cure, but we were trying to get a song and one of the people that owned the copyright was up a mountain and we had to send a sherpa to go and find this guy so we could get the rights." (Founding member of The Cure, Lol Tolhurst, we're looking at you.) Mixtape is looking like a cinematic, arty take on the familiar whimsy of growing up, with Galvatron name-checking films like Dazed and Confused, Ferris Bueller's Day Off and even Wayne's World. It's coming '2025' to PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X. If you're looking for more excellent games from today's Future Games Show, have a look at our official Steam page.
