“Wicked” the musical is coming to the big screen… but wait, there’s a plot twist! Just like your favorite streaming series that ends on a cliffhanger and leaves you screaming at your TV, this magical adventure will be served in two delicious, yet frustrating, parts.
But wait—plot twist number two! Universal Pictures had us all flailing in confusion, wondering if they’d thrown Part Two into the Land of Oz’s recycling bin. Why, you ask? Well, because there was absolutely no mention of “Part One” anywhere in the marketing. Fans were left scratching their heads, much like the Scarecrow without his brain, especially after director Jon M. Chu tossed out a cryptic message, saying, “Let me tell you, the WHOLE story” when sharing the trailer. Um, excuse us, Jon, the whole story in ONE movie? Where’s the twisty, turny Part Two we were promised?!
Fear not, fellow Oz enthusiasts—Universal Pictures swooped in faster than a flying monkey to confirm that Part Two is still very much alive and kicking! You heard it right: Wicked: Part Two will be dancing its way into theaters after all. So, all of you who had already planned to chain yourself to the movie theater seat for a second helping of Oz goodness can breathe easy.
Now, let’s talk dates because we know you’ve been marking your calendars. Originally, Part Two was set to charm us on Thanksgiving Day 2025, but in a move that would make even Glinda’s magic wand jealous, they’ve decided to give us this cinematic gift a few days early. So, go ahead and cancel your turkey plans, because Part Two is now landing on November 21, 2025—just in time to argue with your family about whether Elphaba was really the bad guy or just misunderstood.
But hold your poppies, we’re not done yet! Wicked: Part One is still coming to your eyeballs on November 22, 2024. And the latest trailer? It’s here to remind you that Ariana Grande is about to sprinkle her Glinda glitter all over your life. So, grab your bubble, float over to your screen, and check it out!
Until then, we’ll be impatiently waiting, humming “Defying Gravity,” and wondering if anyone in Oz actually knows how to manage a release schedule.
