Wicked: For Good Trailer Is Out — And It’s Got Everyone Talking
So, the trailer for Wicked: For Good just dropped, and honestly, it’s pretty exciting. This is the second part of the movie based on the famous musical, and it’s picking up right where the first one left off. You get to see more of Elphaba (played by Cynthia Erivo) and Glinda (played by Ariana Grande), and their story seems to be getting deeper and more emotional this time around. The movie is set to hit theatres on November 21, 2025 — yeah, it’s still a bit of a wait, but if the trailer is anything to go by, it might be worth it.

What the Trailer Shows (Without Spoiling Too Much)
From the trailer, it’s clear this part of the story is going to be more intense. Elphaba seems to be staying away from the public eye, keeping low while standing up to the Wizard’s control over Oz. Meanwhile, Glinda is in the spotlight, and you can kind of feel her struggling with her role. They’re still connected, but you can tell a lot has changed since the first film.
And something else people noticed — Dorothy finally makes an appearance! They didn’t clearly say who’s playing her, but the buzz is that it might be Alisha Weir. The trailer doesn’t give away too much, but it’s enough to build hype without spoiling the whole plot.
New Music and Familiar Songs
Of course, music is a huge part of Wicked, and this film doesn’t hold back. You’ll hear some of the classic songs like No Good Deed and For Good, but there’s also a couple of brand-new songs added by Stephen Schwartz, who worked on the original musical. From what’s been teased, the new tracks are supposed to explore the characters' feelings and the choices they’re making even more deeply.
It’s cool to see how the music isn’t just there for fun — it’s actually helping push the story forward. And with Ariana and Cynthia singing, you already know the performances are going to be powerful.
It’s All Connected — One Big Story, Two Parts
One thing people might not know is that the Wicked movies were actually filmed together. Director Jon M. Chu wanted to keep the storytelling tight, which makes sense. Instead of squeezing everything into one movie and rushing it, they split it into two. This way, they could give each moment time to breathe. It also means you won’t feel like this sequel is just an afterthought or stretched thin. Everything is connected, and the second part seems like it’s going to complete the bigger picture.
Final Thoughts
Look, whether you’re a die-hard Wicked fan or just someone who enjoys musicals and fantasy stories, Wicked: For Good looks promising. The trailer gives off serious drama, friendship, and magical vibes — with a hint of conflict that’s probably going to hit hard in the movie. The cast looks strong, the visuals are stunning again, and the music... well, if you liked the first one, you’ll probably be humming along again.
It’s not easy for a second part to live up to a popular first film, but from what we’ve seen so far, this one might just pull it off.
