After two decades as one of the most beloved and enduring musicals on the stage, Wicked makes its long-awaited journey to the big screen as a spectacular, generation-defining cinematic event this holiday season.
Wicked, the untold story of the witches of Oz, stars Emmy, Grammy and Tony winning powerhouse Cynthia Erivo (Harriet, Broadwayâs The Color Purple) as Elphaba, a young woman, misunderstood because of her unusual green skin, who has yet to discover her true power, and Grammy-winning, multi-platinum recording artist and global superstar Ariana Grande as Glinda, a popular young woman, gilded by privilege and ambition, who has yet to discover her true heart.
The two meet as students at Shiz University in the fantastical Land of Oz and forge an unlikely but profound friendship. Following an encounter with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads and their lives take very different paths. Glinda's unflinching desire for popularity sees her seduced by power, while Elphaba's determination to remain true to herself, and to those around her, will have unexpected and shocking consequences on her future. Their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfill their destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
The film also stars OscarÂź winner Michelle Yeoh as Shiz Universityâs regal headmistress Madame Morrible; Jonathan Bailey (Bridgerton, Fellow Travelers) as Fiyero, a roguish and carefree prince; Tony nominee Ethan Slater (Broadwayâs Spongebob Squarepants, Fosse/Verdon) as Boq, an altruistic Munchkin student; Marissa Bode in her feature-film debut as Nessarose, Elphabaâs favored sister; and pop culture icon Jeff Goldblum as the legendary Wizard of Oz.
The cast of characters includes Pfannee and ShenShen, two conniving compatriots of Glinda played by Emmy nominee Bowen Yang (Saturday Night Live) and Bronwyn James (Harlots), and a new character created for the film, Miss Coddle, played by Tony nominee Keala Settle (The Greatest Showman).
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians, In the Heights), Wicked is the first chapter of a two-part immersive, cultural celebration. Wicked Part Two is scheduled to arrive in theaters on November 26, 2025.
Wicked is produced by Marc Platt (La La Land, The Little Mermaid), whose films, television shows and stage productions have earned a combined 46 OscarÂź nominations, 58 Emmy nominations and 36 Tony nominations, and by multiple Tony winner David Stone (Kimberly Akimbo, Next to Normal), with whom Platt produced the blockbuster Wicked stage musical. The executive producers are David Nicksay, Stephen Schwartz and Jared LeBoff.
Based on the bestselling novel by Gregory Maguire, Wicked is adapted for the screen by the stage productionâs book writer Winnie Holzman and by legendary Grammy and OscarÂź winning composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz. The Broadway stage musical is produced by Universal Stage Productions, Marc Platt, the Araca Group, Jon B. Platt and David Ston

"THIS IS YOUR MOMENT, I'M COMING" LMAO
-
''Are people born wicked or did they have wickedness thrust upon them?'' The most important question of the entire movie / musical
-
Never seen the musical, but I was OBSESSED with The Wizard of Oz growing up. I would rewind The Wicked Witchâs exit scene in the flames over and over because I thought it was the most magical thing Iâd ever witnessed. Iâm so excited for this movie. It looks spectacular.
-
When Cynthia said "I'm not afraid. Its the wizard who should be afraid of me" I got chills and her voice! CHILLSSSSSSSSSSSSS
-
You can hear Kristinâs influence when Ariana sings popular. Her mannerisms are all over the trailer. Iâm so excited!!
-
Iâd normally complain about a trailer showing pretty much every moment of the plot, but since Iâm already so familiar with the show it just makes me glad to know theyâre covering everything
-
I've watched this trailer thirty thousand times and it doesn't get old. That last riff with Elphaba going skyward makes me emotional every time.
-
"You're green!." "I am" pure cinema right here.
-
ariana and cynthiaâs vocals are insane! the casting here is top tier!
-
Ariâs first response to getting the role being âI love her so much. Iâm going to take such good care of her.â Makes me so happy!
-
From what weâve heard in the trailer, Iâve never heard such an effortless, clear-as-a-bell tone as Cynthiaâs Defying Gravity.
-
" something has changed withing me.. " GUYS IM SOBBING
-
" The best way to bring folks together is to give'em a real good enemy. " Well, that's damn true!
-
The people saying âthe trailer gives away too muchâ really donât know how many twists and turns this story contains lol they think the whole plot is âgreen girl is stereotyped so people donât like herâđ
-
It really shows how many animatics the creators have watched because this was all the wicked animatics combined into one. It's great!
-
THAT WAS MAGNIFICENT! I JUST STARTED CRYING!! WHAT IS THISSS?
-
ari is fully channeling kristin chenoweth and i love it
-
Dude like I was crying when Cynthia said the line "It's the wizard who should be afraid of me." They're gonna nail it. I swear!
-
The instrumental with Defying Gravity gives me chills every single time. This rendition is beyond beautiful, its EVERYTHING! The music starting at 1:45 is just incredible. The soundtrack from this film will be so worth it
-
"Of course she does. She just pretends not to." Respect! I know a lot of people have to act strong because otherwise they will be bullied.
