The Untold Story Nears Its End… Or Is It Just the Beginning?

It’s time to return to the land of Oz.

Universal Pictures just dropped the trailer for Wicked: For Good, the dazzling and emotional finale to one of the most iconic musical stories of our time. Premiering in Philippine cinemas on November 19, the film stars Academy Award® nominee Cynthia Erivo and Grammy-winning pop sensation Ariana Grande as Elphaba and Glinda — former best friends now fated to walk opposing paths.

When Friendship Faces the Final Test

Wicked: For Good picks up where last year’s blockbuster left off. The once-inseparable Elphaba and Glinda now find themselves at odds, grappling with the consequences of their choices. Glinda, hailed as a hero, has embraced the title of the Good Witch. Elphaba, misunderstood and vilified, has become The Wicked Witch of the West.

Theirs is a story of heartbreak and heroism, of truth and illusion — and it all leads to this final, fateful chapter.

And now whatever way our stories end, I know you have rewritten mine by being my friend.

A Star-Studded Spell

Directed by Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians, In the Heights), Wicked: For Good brings back the spellbinding cast that helped turn the first film into a global sensation.

Joining Erivo and Grande are:

• Jeff Goldblum as the mysterious Wizard of Oz
• Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible
• Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero

Behind the scenes, the film reunites powerhouse producers Marc Platt (Tony and Emmy winner) and David Stone, alongside executive producers Stephen Schwartz, Winnie Holzman, and more.

From Broadway to Box Office Glory

The first Wicked film, released in November 2024, defied expectations and soared to new cinematic heights. It became the most successful Broadway-to-film adaptation of all time, earning 10 Academy Award® nominations, including Best Picture, and winning Oscars® for Costume Design and Production Design. To date, it has grossed over $750 million worldwide.

Now, with Wicked: For Good, the story comes full circle — bringing closure, catharsis, and a few surprises along the yellow brick road.
