Universal released the Wicked for Good final trailer, and it looks amazing, giving audiences more of what they love: Elphaba and Galinda—henceforth known as Glinda. Plus, the story interacts with the timeline from the classic The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. So, there’s plenty to see in the trailer and even more to wonder about. It looks like a whirlwind of emotions swaddled in green and pink.
Directed by Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians, In the Heights), the film has Cynthia Erivo (Bad Times at the El Royale, Widows) and Ariana Grande (Wicked, Don’t Look Up) reprise their roles as Elphaba and Glinda, respectively. Now, they are on opposing sides as the true villains, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, played by Jeff Goldblum (Jurassic World: Dominion, Independence Day), and Madame Morrible, played by Michelle Yeoh (Everything Everywhere All at Once, A Haunting in Venice), set everyone against Elphaba, now dubbed The Wicked Witch of the West.
Another returnee is Peter Dinklage (Roofman, Brothers) as the professor at Shiz University, Dr. Dillamond, the goat that the villains snatched out of class in the first movie. Next, Jonathan Bailey (Jurassic World: Rebirth, Up the Catalogue), as the nonchalant, but secretly caring, Fiyero. The Wicked for Good final trailer teases a lot, including glimpses of Dorothy, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion. So, it will be interesting to see how it all comes together.
The Wicked for Good final trailer teases more action as well, from fights to chases. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande are the core of the Wicked for Good final trailer, given their outstanding performances in the first film, which gets better on rewatch. There are songs. Affection. A dance with them and evil Oz? Audiences are in store for a lot.
