Directed by Jon M. Chu, Wicked: For Good concludes the story of Elphaba, played by Cynthia Erivo, and Glinda, portrayed by Ariana Grande. The plot follows the estranged witches facing consequences of their choices, reuniting when a girl from Kansas arrives, leading to changes in themselves and Oz. The cast includes Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Marissa Bode, Michelle Yeoh and Jeff Goldblum.
The first Wicked, released November 22, 2024, grossed $756.4 million worldwide against a $150 million budget, becoming the highest-grossing Oz film and Broadway adaptation. It topped 2024’s domestic box office milestones, reaching $365.2 million by December 2024 and surpassing $700 million globally by January 2025.
Based on the Broadway musical by Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman, adapted from Gregory Maguire’s novel, the films explore origins of the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good. The stage show, premiering in 2003, has earned over $5 billion and been seen by 65 million people worldwide.
Erivo, an Oscar nominee for Harriet, brings vocal range to Elphaba, the green-skinned outcast. Grande, a Grammy winner, embodies Glinda’s bubbly persona. Yeoh, an Oscar winner for Everything Everywhere All at Once, plays Madame Morrible, while Goldblum portrays the Wizard.
Production involved elaborate sets in the U.K., with practical effects for Oz’s world. Chu split the adaptation into two parts for fidelity to the source. The sequel includes songs like “For Good” and “No Good Deed.”
