Wicked: For Good has released a brand-new poster ahead of the second installment of the movie - and fans can't contain their excitement.
The first movie became a global sensation, grossing more than $750 million (roughly £552M) worldwide, according to Billboard.
And on Wednesday, the film's official Instagram page unveiled a stunning new promotional image that offers a fresh glimpse into the highly anticipated sequel, which hits cinemas on November 21.
The poster highlights the returning star-studded cast.
Ariana Grande is seen once again as Glinda, while Cynthia Erivo returns as Elphaba.
Jonathan Bailey is back as Fiyero, with Jeff Goldblum returning as the Wizard and Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible.
Unlike the visuals from the first installment, this lineup teases dramatic character evolutions and hints at new twists waiting to be revealed.
In the image, the five characters are positioned side by side, with three of them donning bold, updated costumes that give subtle nods to the original Broadway production.
'Emerald City awaits,' the offical page penned alongside the post.
Fans went wild in the comments, unable to contain their excitement.
They penned: 'I'm ready… but I'm also not ready! I don't want this to be the end... Movie of the year already... This is cool looking...
'OMG MOVIE OF THE YEAR IS COMING IN 4 MONTHS... Now THIS is a movie poster... We are so ready.'
Last month the the first trailer for Wicked's hotly-anticipated sequel was dropped.
The sequel sees the return of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, and Glinda, the Good Witch of the North - with part two of the musical movie following their friendship after Elphaba was banished from Oz
Fans went wild in the comments, unable to contain their excitement.
Elphaba is living 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 about The Wizard.
Glinda, meanwhile, has become the symbol of Goodness for all of Oz, living at the palace in Emerald City and reveling in the perks of fame and popularity as she prepares to tie the knot with Prince Fiyero.
She is also working under the instruction of Madame Morrible to convince the citizens of Oz that they have nothing to fear when it comes to The Wizard.
Yet behind the scenes, Glinda is attempting to reconcile Elphaba and The Wizard, which only results in her being drawn further apart from her friend.
As a result Boq (Ethan Slater) and Fiyero are set to be changed forever, while the safety of Elphaba's sister, Nessarose (Marissa Bode) comes into question.
Just as tensions in Oz reach an all time high, a girl from Kansas comes crashing into all their lives.
Fans went wild at the first glimpse of Dorothy - who was seen walking along the yellow brick road with the Tin Man, Cowardly Lion, and Scarecrow.
Her face was obscured as she was shown from the back, with fans taking to X/Twitter to try and figure out her identity.
They penned: 'the way we still don't know who plays as dorothy in wicked new trailer'; In wicked for good what if we don't see Dorothy's face the whole movie.?'
'So She brings Dorothy to Oz?'; 'i just watched wicked last sunday and it's so gooood oh i can't wait for this. show me dorothy pls!!'; 'Who do you think could be playing Dorothy in Wicked For Good?';
'The crazy part about the Wicked: For Good trailer is the fact that there's still so much to come. We didn't see Nessarose or Boq. They recently filmed scenes at Shiz for this. We got a little of Dorothy's crew. This is just a glimpse. I can't wait to see it ALL unfold';
Several names have been put forward while fans try to guess who is Dorothy.
The frontrunner so far is Alisha Weir, 15, who is best known for playing Matilda in the Netflix adaptation of Matilda the Musical and the titular character in the horror flick Abigail.
Others have suggested that Addison Rae or Taylor Swift could be slipping into the iconic ruby red slippers.
Last year's global cinematic cultural sensation, which became the most successful Broadway film adaptation of all time, now reaches its epic, electrifying, emotional conclusion in Wicked: For Good.
Wicked: For Good is being directed again by award-winning Jon M. Chu, who has confirmed that there will be new, original songs in the sequel, along with fan favourites For Good and No Good Deed.
