It’s time to return to Oz! Check out the new character posters from Universal’s enchanting sequel, Wicked For Good.
We are still a few months away from the release of Jon M. Chu’s Wicked For Good, but regardless, Universal Pictures is firing up the hype train to carry us back to Oz. Today, the studio released two new character posters for the film featuring Glinda and Elphaba. Although we have already seen a bunch of character posters, the latest crop reveals the duo at both ends of the yellow brick road. Elphaba is pictured emerging from the darkness onto the road itself, while Glinda is seen in the confines of her palatial bubble. Check them out below.
CHARACTER POSTERS
SYNOPSIS
After challenging the Wizard’s totalitarian regime in Oz, Elphaba must grapple with her identity as the “Wicked Witch of the West”. Meanwhile, the Wizard has given Glinda the title “Glinda the Good” and a public status as the nation’s defender against Elphaba. The two witches must make decisions that seal their fates in this second musical installment.
CAST & CREW
Director Jon M. Chu has assembled a fantastic cast to bring this magical sequel to the screen. The cast includes Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Michelle Yeoh as Shiz University’s regal headmistress Madame Morrible, and Jeff Goldblum as the legendary Wizard of Oz. Rounding out the cast are Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, and Marissa Bode in her feature-film debut.
In my review of the first film, I said: “Jon M. Chu’s Wicked is a dazzling visual spectacle that works wonders with its material but falls short of brilliance. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande-Butera deliver powerhouse performances that overcome some truly eye-rolling dialogue to whisk us back to Oz with a musical blast. The cinematography is breathtaking, the score is superb, and the musical numbers are flawless. However, fans of the original movie will be put off by the narrative changes that cast an unfavorable light on some of the IP’s legacy characters.” Read my full review here.
RELEASE
The sequel looks like it’s going to be an amazing musical adventure that’ll take us back to the magical land of Oz. From the awesome poster designs, we can’t wait to hit the Yellow Brick Road and dive into the magic of Oz again. Whether it’s “Wicked” or not doesn’t really matter!
Wicked For Good will sprinkle UK cinemas with magic on November 21, 2025.
