The new trailer, which you can check out above, shows the friendship of Cynthia Erivo's Elphaba and Ariana Grande's Glinda. The trailer shows how the two characters start out as trying to buttheads and compete with one another before eventually forming a friendship. As previously confirmed, the story will focus on Elphaba and Glinda and their origin stories as they become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good, respectively.
In addition to Ervio and Grande appearing, the latest trailer also shows glimpses of Bowen Yang, Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum, and Peter Dinklage, all of which were previously announced to be joining the cast.
Wicked is a film adaption of the stage musical of the same name, both of which are based on the 1995 novel by author Gregory Maguire. The film was announced in 2021, with Crazy Rich Asians director Jon M Chu hired to direct.
Wicked is still on track to release on November 27, 2024. It will be part one of a planned duology, with its sequel, Wicked: Part 2, slated to release on November 26, 2025.
