The teaser trailer for Wicked: Part One debuted during Super Bowl Sunday, providing us with the footage we've been eagerly waiting for. And let's just say, it did not disappoint. With Cynthia Erivo taking on the role of Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda, the film is directed by Jon M. Chu and will be released in two parts. The first installment is set to hit theaters on Thanksgiving, with the second following on November 26, 2025.
The mere glimpse of Part One has already caused a frenzy online, with fans raving about the extraordinary production. And can we talk about the stunning visuals? Ariana looks absolutely ethereal as Glinda, donning a series of gorgeous pastel outfits. Meanwhile, Cynthia totally embodies the role of Elphaba with her green-skinned appearance and powerful performance, even giving us a sneak peek of her rendition of Defying Gravity.
But it's not just the incredible cast that has fans buzzing. The trailer also features a surprise appearance from Dorothy, who was never seen in the Broadway show. Fans have already predicted major things for the movie, including an EGOT status for Ariana.
And let's not forget about the rest of the star-studded cast, which includes Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero, Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard, and Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, just to name a few. It's safe to say that Wicked has assembled an amazing team to bring this beloved story to life on the big screen.
Director Jon M. Chu has promised that the movie will have everything – from giant musical numbers to big action scenes, all while staying true to the classic story of The Wizard of Oz. But at its core, the movie is about change and the necessity for things to get better. A powerful message that is sure to resonate with audiences.
For those unfamiliar with the story, Wicked serves as a prequel to The Wizard of Oz and tells the tale of how Elphaba became known as the Wicked Witch of the West. The original Broadway production opened in 2003 and has since become a fan favorite, grossing over $1 billion in total.
The movie version of Wicked has been in the works for years, but faced obstacles along the way, including director Stephen Daldry's departure. However, the team behind the film is determined to do justice to the beloved source material and have even decided to split the movie into two parts to give the story the space it deserves.
So mark your calendars because Wicked Part One is set to hit theaters on November 27. And in the meantime, feel free to share your excitement and thoughts on the trailer.
