The Wicked sequel trailer has landed. These are the four biggest takeaways
Look out Ozians, the witch is back. The trailer for Wicked: For Good has officially landed, offering fans a first glimpse into what Elphaba, Glinda and the Emerald City have to offer next. Following Jon M. Chu's Academy Award-winning Wicked: Part I, which was adapted from the iconic Broadway musical, the sequel picks up where the first left off: Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) has been dubbed the Wicked Witch of the West by the fraudulent Wizard (Jeff Goldblum), complicating her friendship with Glinda, the Good Witch (Ariana Grande). The two films were filmed back-to-back but separated into two features, with the first ending at the same point as the Broadway version's intermission. For Good will land in cinemas on November 21, exactly a year after the first, which ultimately won two Oscars and grossed $1.16 billion globally. 'I think the meat of what Wicked is all about happens in movie two,' Chu told Vanity Fair on Wednesday. 'To me, this is why this story exists. This is where our childhood dreams collide with our adult selves.' Despite its release still being more than five months away, fans are already champing at the bit for any new details. Here are some of the biggest takeaways from the trailer. Something Bad Unlike the first film, which was a green and pink singing extravaganza, For Good is adopting a far darker tone. This is a logical choice since it will explore heavier themes such as prejudice, government corruption, and the powers of propaganda.

Good News! We Finally Have A Streaming Release Date For "Wicked" On Peacock
It's been almost four months since Wicked hit the big screen. Since then, it has become a worldwide phenomenon, and not only is it the fifth highest-grossing movie of 2024, but it's also now nominated for 10 Academy Awards. Of course, one of the first things people wondered after its release was when it would hit streaming. A few weeks ago, it was announced that Wicked would be coming to Peacock,* but they didn't say when. Well, it's officially going to begin streaming starting on March 21. But it isn't just the movie alone that you can stream — it'll come loaded with extras like the sing-along version, deleted and extended scenes, the NBC special Defying Gravity: The Curtain Rises on Wicked, and lots more. Now, fellow Ozians, if you can't wait that long for it to hit streaming, you can buy it on PVOD, and it's also available now on Blu-ray, 4K, and DVD.
