Here’s the trailer. Oscar nominees Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are returning to wrap up the ‘Wicked’ saga in its final chapter,
Directed by Jon M. Chu, “Wicked: For Good” is set to premiere in theaters on November 21. Based on the footage, the color grading already seems like a significant improvement.
Dorothy and her companions—the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion—are set to appear in “Wicked: For Good.” While the original stage musical featured Dorothy only briefly, Chu has indicated that the sequel will expand her role, offering a more prominent presence in the narrative. Irish actress Alisha Weir is set to take on the role made iconic by Judy Garland.
The two-part film adaptation of the Tony Award–winning Broadway hit premiered last November and earned nearly $750M worldwide, The movie also earned 10 Academy Award nominations, and won two Oscars.
This film faces a tough challenge, as Act 1 of the stage show is generally considered stronger and more engaging. Of course, the original musical has been around for over two decades, so hopefully Chu and his team have found a way to strengthen Act II and give it the impact it needs.
Honestly, it’s pretty straightforward. If you enjoyed the first film, you’re probably grabbing a ticket opening weekend. If it wasn’t your thing, you’re likely skipping it entirely.
A real shocker. There are some people you think will live forever, and Sir Patrick Stewart was one of them. The legendary actor has passed away at the age of 86. We’ve lost one of the greats.
