What to Expect from ‘Wicked: For Good’
According to the official synopsis, the sequel picks up immediately after Elphaba’s public condemnation by the Wizard (Jeff Goldblum) and Madame Morrible (Michelle Yeoh). With Elphaba on the run and Glinda navigating her newfound influence, For Good continues the story of friendship, identity, and the choices that shape legends.
Returning cast members include Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero, Marissa Bode as Nessarose, Ethan Slater, and others. The film’s title draws from the duet “For Good,” a pivotal number from the original Broadway production that explores the lasting impact of Elphaba and Glinda’s bond.
Released in November 2024, Wicked: Part One was both a box office and critical success. It earned over $600 million worldwide and received multiple award nominations for its performances, music, and production design.
The film was praised for modernizing the original stage play while maintaining its core themes of justice, transformation, and personal agency.
