The magic of Oz returns, but this time, it’s personal — and for good. 🎭✨
Universal Pictures just dropped the much-anticipated trailer for “Wicked: For Good” on June 4, and it’s everything fans could have hoped for — heartbreak, drama, dazzling visuals, and the fierce return of Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda. The trailer sets the stage for an epic showdown and emotional reconciliation in the second part of this two-part adaptation of the iconic Broadway musical.
🚨 Spoiler Alert: This post contains key plot points from Wicked Part One and the Broadway musical.
💚 Two Witches. One Destiny.
The Wicked: For Good trailer begins with a haunting look at a changed Oz. After the dramatic escape at the end of Part One, Elphaba is now a fugitive — labeled the “Wicked Witch of the West.” Glinda, on the other hand, has embraced her public persona as “Glinda the Good,” though her eyes reflect a storm of inner conflict.
Their friendship once defied the odds — but now, the world is determined to tear them apart.
🔮 Cynthia Erivo & Ariana Grande Shine Again
Cynthia Erivo’s powerful and raw portrayal of Elphaba takes center stage in the trailer’s darker tone, while Ariana Grande brings shimmering complexity to Glinda, caught between duty and heartache. Their chemistry remains electric as glimpses of emotional confrontations and tender flashbacks unfold.
🎶 What Songs Are in the Sequel?
Fans are treated to chilling snippets of the emotional numbers “No Good Deed” and “For Good” — songs that will play a pivotal role in the story's climax.
Composer Stephen Schwartz confirmed that Wicked: For Good will also feature two brand-new songs, written specifically for the movie. While those tracks are still under wraps, expect them to add depth and originality to this beloved musical.
🌀 A Twisted Take on The Wizard of Oz
Part Two, just like Act 2 of the original Broadway show, cleverly reshapes familiar Wizard of Oz lore. It reveals the tragic origins behind Dorothy’s companions:
-
Boq becomes the Tin Man, cursed by magic and heartbreak.
-
Fiyero transforms into the Scarecrow, trapped between loyalty and love.
-
The Cowardly Lion was once just a cub, freed by Elphaba.
-
Madame Morrible, portrayed by Michelle Yeoh, is revealed to have conjured the infamous tornado.
-
Jeff Goldblum’s Wizard continues his campaign of misinformation and manipulation.
❤️ The Love Triangle Intensifies
The romantic tension between Glinda, Elphaba, and Prince Fiyero (Jonathan Bailey) escalates in this final installment. With Glinda now engaged to Fiyero, but his heart still drawn to Elphaba, the emotional stakes couldn’t be higher. The trailer teases the trio’s unraveling bonds — and the devastating choices that will change them forever.
🧙♂️ The Message: Who Really Is Wicked?
More than ever, Wicked: For Good asks us to question the lines between good and evil. Is Glinda truly “good” because of her title? Is Elphaba “wicked” for rebelling against injustice? The story peels back the mythos of Oz to reveal the messy, human truths underneath — loyalty, love, betrayal, and sacrifice.
🎥 What to Expect from the Final Chapter
While Universal hasn’t released the full plot details, it’s clear that Wicked: For Good will follow the stage musical’s Act 2 closely — but with cinematic flair. Expect:
-
Visually grand battle scenes
-
Powerful duets between Glinda and Elphaba
-
High fantasy drama rooted in friendship and rebellion
-
An emotional farewell that will stay with fans long after the credits roll
📅 When Does Wicked: For Good Come Out?
The film is scheduled to hit theaters on November 26, 2025 — exactly one year after the release of Wicked: Part One. With a holiday launch, it’s primed to be a global event and a fitting end to this spellbinding two-part saga.
👑 Final Thoughts: A Farewell Worth Waiting For
The Wicked: For Good trailer promises an unforgettable ending to a story that has enchanted audiences for decades. Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo bring powerful new dimensions to Glinda and Elphaba’s friendship, and with jaw-dropping visuals and musical surprises, the finale is set to be nothing short of legendary.
If the first film was about discovering who you are, For Good is about deciding who you’ll be — even when the world decides for you.
