Universal's WICKED Film - News & Discussion Thread

If anbody here watches ELSBETH on CBS or on Paramount + did you catch Ethan Slater in the Season 2, Episode 17?  It caught me completely off guard as I hadn't heard anything about him working on anything since WICKED.

But will this be the standard initial “teaser” trailer (which is the trailer issued first) or they’re breaking protocol and just premiering the first full trailer?

I bet it'll be the same CinemaCon "teaser," but who knows?

Interestingly (and confusingly), this article notes “Following the screenings, the trailer will be available online for viewing.”

Not sure if that means it’ll be online immediately following the screenings or…

*edited to add…*

The first Wicked: For Good trailer will premiere immediately after the film has ended.

But do they mean it’ll premiere in theaters at these screenings after the film ends…? Or that it’ll drop online after the screenings conclude? I’m confused.

It will be the teaser, there’s no way Universal is giving it all away this soon. They want to build momentum, they know how many people have been chomping at the bit to see anything from this second installment, and they will draw it out as long as they can.

A new 10 second 6 month teaser released. 


Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist. Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino. This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more. Tazber's: Reply to Is Stephen Schwartz a Practicing Christian

The article is pretty clear about how and when you can see it.

I don't think a trailer has ever made me cry before.


A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

The WICKED films are also using elements from Gregory Maguire’s original book and which were left out of the abridged Broadway musical adaptation. In the book, Glinda does get married. She marries an older baron named Sir Chuffrey.

The new costumes look almost gorgeous as last time. Ariana as Glinda possibly being featured in the Wonderful sequence? What a surprise! If Cynthia and Ari slay For Good, I’ll die a happy man!

Thanks. It's been so long since I read the book that I don't even remember that! In the trailer it looks like she is marrying Fieryo. I will have to watch it again and see if the background is different between the two shots of them.

That was a wonderful trailer. This one-year intermission was certainly a smart idea, and it makes me excited to see it and maybe watch the first part again right before seeing this one in theaters.

That was magical in all senses of the word

This truly looks like the greatest movie musical ever. We have been VERY lucky that Wicked has Jon M Chu at the helm. 

Between the theatre and film, I truly believe that Wicked likely has or will have the most worldwide cultural impact of any musical we know of so far. 


Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.
