The 14 Biggest Easter Eggs In The 'Wicked: For Good' Trailer

Just when the world stopped holding space for Wicked, the frenzy is about to kick back up again. The first trailer for the movie musical sequel, Wicked: For Good, was released last night, giving us our first glimpse of Elphaba and Glinda after that infamous 'AhhAAAHAAAAAHH!' at the end of 'Defying Gravity.' As we see in the footage, the former best friends' relationship has completely changed. Elphaba is public enemy number one, Glinda is walking down the aisle to marry Fiyero, and now a girl named Dorothy is in the picture. Fans of the Broadway musical know how this story ends, and they're probably already familiar with some of the tunes that appear in the trailer, like 'No Good Deed' and, of course, 'For Good.' Let's break down some key details and takeaways from the trailer. Elphaba is in the forest chanting the spell, 'Eleka nahmen nahmen, ah tum ah tum, eleka nahmen' from the beginning of 'No Good Deed.' Madame Morrible makes the infamous twister, which eventually crushes the 'Wicked Witch of the East' and brings Dorothy to Oz. Fiyero is now the captain of the guard. The bricks of the yellow brick road make an appearance. Elphaba finds the brochure to Emerald City that Glinda signed for her in the first film. Glinda rests her head on Elphaba's shoulder—this scene appears in Wicked: Part One as a flashback. Glinda appears to be wearing a wedding dress, walking down the aisle with Fiyero. This is a scene that didn't appear in the original Broadway production. When asked about it, director Jon M. Chu explained to Vanity Fair, 'It's life or death for all of them, so a wedding seemed appropriate.' He added of the love triangle between Glinda, Fiyero, and Elphaba, 'It's harder to forgive certain things in certain scenarios. It makes it more complicated.' Someone is wearing those magical jeweled shoes that belonged to Elphaba and Nessarose's mother. Dorothy and Toto are spotted being led out of Munchkinland. Chu explains how introducing the iconic character affects Glinda and Elphaba's journeys. 'We tread lightly, but try to make more sense of how it impacts our girls and our characters than maybe the show does,' he told Vanity Fair. Dorothy, the Tin Man, Cowardly Lion, and Scarecrow face the Wizard of Oz, who orders them to bring him the broom of the Wicked Witch of the West. Close-up of the Cowardly Lion! Glinda steps into her bubble—is that the same look she wore at the beginning of Part One? Here are Glinda and Elphaba in the room where the bucket of water. Elphaba tells Glinda, 'I'm off to see the Wizard,' referencing the song 'We're Off to See the Wizard' that Judy Garland sings in The Wizard of Oz. Come release day on November 21, we'll be saying that too. ELLE Collective is a new community of fashion, beauty and culture lovers.
