Synopsis of Wicked
The highly anticipated sequel, Wicked: Part 2 , continues the thrilling journey of Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), now seen by many as the infamous Wicked Witch of the West, and Glinda (Ariana Grande), the popular and glamorous Good Witch. Following the events of the first film, Elphaba lives in exile, hidden in the forests of Oz, determined to expose the truth about the enigmatic Wizard and fight for the freedom of the silenced Animals. Meanwhile, Glinda enjoys the privileges of fame and adoration in the Emerald City, becoming a symbol of goodness for the entire kingdom. However, the complexity of their friendship is tested to the limit by opposing personalities, differing viewpoints, a shared love interest with Fiyero (Jonathan Bailey), and reactions to the Wizard's corrupt rule. The plot intensifies when an angry mob turns against Elphaba, forcing the two friends to confront their differences and perhaps join forces one last time to face the challenges that threaten the future of Oz. The film promises to delve deeper into the themes of friendship, destiny, and the nuances of how the world defines good and evil, adapting the second act of the acclaimed Broadway musical with even more depth and surprises.
The World of Oz Continues
Directed by Jon M. Chu , known for his work on the first installment and other musicals like 'Crazy Rich Asians', 'Wicked: Part 2' brings back a stellar cast. In addition to Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande in the lead roles, we have Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero, Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, and the legendary Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard of Oz. The decision to split the story into two films was a gamble by Universal Pictures to ensure that the musical's narrative was told with the richness and depth it deserves, without cuts that would compromise the original material that has enchanted millions of fans for years.
Impact and Expectations
The first film, released in 2024, was a global success and received 10 Oscar nominations, demonstrating the cultural impact of the adaptation. 'Wicked: Part 2' is not far behind in terms of anticipation: pre-sales in the United States have already broken records, becoming the biggest film release of 2025 in pre-sales and ranking among the top ten pre-sale days of all time on the Fandango portal. The film promises to be a visual and musical spectacle, with the inclusion of new songs such as "The Girl in the Bubble," performed by Ariana Grande, and "No Place Like Home," with the powerful vocals of Cynthia Erivo.
