Wicked For Good Trailer: 9 Moments We Need To Talk About Immediately

Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande as seen in the Wicked For Good trailerIt’s almost time to defy gravity once again.We’re now just months away from the release of the much-hyped musical sequel Wicked For Good, which will bring the second half of the hit stage show to the big screen.On Wednesday night, the first trailer for the Wicked sequel was posted online – and is already generating a lot of conversation online.Here are just nine of the two-minute trailer’s biggest talking points…First of all, yes, it looks like that’s Glinda in a wedding dressIt looks as though Glinda and Fieryo actually make it down the aisle in Wicked For GoodWhen we first clap eyes on Ariana Grande’s character, we learn that she has ditched her signature pink in favour of an elaborate white dress – and as the clip continues, it looks like this is actually a show-stopping wedding gown.Glinda and Fiyero never actually make it down the aisle in the stage musical (although he is referred to as her fiancé in the second half opener For Good), with Jon M Chu teasing to Vanity Fair: “It’s life or death for all of them, so [adding] a wedding seemed appropriate.”The trailer gives us our first snippets of Wicked staples For Good and No Good DeedElphaba experiments with the Grimmerie in Wicked For GoodGiven the title of the Wicked sequel, it was always a given that we’d hear at least a small section of the musical’s eleven o’clock duet, and Ariana’s vocals sound truly beautiful on the part we get to hear.True to form, Cynthia Erivo doing the incantations heard on No Good Deed have given us chills every time we’ve watched the Wicked For Good trailer so far.There’s also a snippet of Cynthia riffing something unfamiliar to Wicked fansCynthia Erivo returns as Elphaba in Wicked For GoodCut to the 14 seconds mark, when Glinda urges Elphana to come in “before the monkeys spot you”, and you might hear a sample of something that’s never been done in the stage version of Wicked before.Earlier this week, it was revealed that Elphaba had a new solo in Wicked For Good (as does Glinda), so it’s safe to assume a quick snippet of that has been included in the new trailer.We also see more of Dorothy than ever beforeWicked For Good looks set to expand the character of Dorothy – who is not seen in the original stage musicalDorothy Gale is never actually seen in the stage production of Wicked, though events in the sequel appear to be more direct retellings of the classic Wizard Of Oz story – including when we see the Wizard encouraging the youngster and her companions to bring him Elphaba’s broom.There’s also a close-up of some blue shoes, as well as Dorothy (and her little dog, too!) first making their way down the yellow brick road.Rumours have previously suggested that Matilda’s Alisha Weir will play Dorothy in Wicked For Good, though this is yet to be confirmed.The Wizard Of Oz references don’t stop there, thoughThe "Wicked Witch Of The West" used skywriting to send a message to Dorothy in The Wizard Of Oz – a trick used by Elphaba in Wicked For Good, tooAs well as a closer look at the early stages of the yellow brick road, Elphaba is seen writing a message to the citizens of Oz using her broom, just like her counterpart in the 1939 classic movie.Wicked For Good allows us to see more of Elphaba’s life in exileWicked For Good picks up after the events of the first filmThe sequel’s runtime is actually pretty much the same length as the entire stage show, meaning certain aspects of the story will be even more fleshed out than the stage show.Seemingly, this means we’ll see more of what Elphaba’s life is like after the events of the first film, now she’s been banished from Oz.The citizens of Oz uniting against Elphaba feels so much more intense on screenThe citizens of Oz unite against Elphaba in Wicked For GoodBecause of the limitations of the stage, when the Ozians form a mob against Elphaba, there are only so many people that can appear at any one time.The screen allows even more supporting artists to form part of the rally, which makes it feel even more unsettling and really allows us to put ourselves in Elphaba’s shoes.Meanwhile, another moment suggests an Animal uprising – which we can’t help but notice appears to be happening in the same setting as Glinda and Fiyero’s wedding…We don’t know what’s going on here, but we’re excited to find out what it isCynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande share the screen in Wicked For GoodElphaba and Glinda floating through the air and sharing a moment atop two conjoined brooms, surrounded by pink stars? Love it. We’ve no idea what part of the story this is supposed to be, but we’re excited to find out.‘I’m off to see the Wizard’The Wicked For Good trailer ends with Elphaba repurposing an iconic line from The Wizard Of OzWhat a closing line, eh?Wicked For Good hits cinemas on Friday 21 November.MORE WICKED:22 Weird And Wonderful Behind-The-Scenes Secrets You Probably Never Knew About How Wicked Was MadeHere's Why A Scene Of Jonathan Bailey And Ethan Slater 'Ripping Their Shirts Off' Was Cut From WickedWicked Star Opens Up About The 1 Major Way Part 2 Will Deviate From The Stage Musical
