The magical world of Oz is back, and this time, it’s personal. The official trailer for Wicked: For Good has just dropped, and fans of the original Wicked musical are in for an emotional, heart-pounding ride as the story continues in this much-anticipated sequel.
Directed by Jon M. Chu (In the Heights, Crazy Rich Asians), Wicked: For Good takes place years after the events of the first story, exploring the legacy of Elphaba (played by Idina Menzel) and Glinda (played by Kristin Chenoweth). The two old friends now face a new threat to the land of Oz—a magical force that could alter the very fabric of reality.
The teaser opens with a slow, sweeping shot over the emerald city as Elphaba’s iconic green glow radiates through the clouds. A haunting version of “For Good” plays, and Glinda’s voice echoes: “I never imagined we would change the world this way… But perhaps we were meant to.”
Key moments from the trailer include:
-
Elphaba and Glinda, now mature and wise, facing a shadowy new villain (played by Emma Stone), whose intentions are unknown but whose powers rival those of the Wicked Witch herself
-
The emotional return of Fiyero (played by Aaron Tveit), torn between his love for Glinda and his duty to help Elphaba
-
Elphaba casting powerful spells with a new intensity as her magic begins to ripple through Oz
-
A breathtaking sequence of flying monkeys and magical battles in the skies above Oz, accompanied by a stirring orchestral score
With new songs, heart-stopping visuals, and a deep dive into the complexities of friendship, love, and sacrifice, Wicked: For Good is poised to be a cinematic event like no other.
Social media is already abuzz, with fans of the musical ecstatic over the sequel’s promise to build upon the legendary story while exploring new realms of magic and emotion. Hashtags like #WickedForGood, #ElphabaAndGlinda, and #WickedSequel are trending worldwide.
Wicked: For Good will hit theaters on May 1, 2026—just in time for the summer season.
Some stories never end. Some friendships transcend time. And some witches… are destined to change everything. 🌿💫
