Watch all-new Wicked movie footage as Cynthia Erivo takes her chance to fly

To coincide with the 2024 Summer Olympics (where Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are attending the lavish opening ceremony), Wicked has released a new trailer for their big-screen adaptation.

The films star Erivo as Elphaba, Grande as Glinda, Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero, Tony nominee Ethan Slater as Boq, Marissa Bode as Nessarose, Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard of Oz, and Peter Dinklage as Dr Dillamond. Jon M Chu directs the two-part property. Part Two is slated for November 26, 2025.

The film (first of two parts) will bubble into cinemas on November 22. Wicked will go up against Gladiator II.

Recently, a new featurette was released:

It is based on the hit novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire, Wicked tells the story of two unlikely university friends in the land of Oz, one destined to become Glinda The Good and the other, the Wicked Witch of the West. Wicked writers Winnie Holzman (book) and Stephen Schwartz (score) are collaborating on the screenplay.
