Have you seen an animated film in the last 15 years or so? They've been steering away from people you've never heard of and have usually been casting celebrities. That said, I think it could make a good animated film.

I would hardly call Idina Menzel, Satino Fontana, Anika Noni Rose, and Josh Gad huge celebrities.  I think that it being animated and it's name will be a big enough draw itself.

A quick look at the director will tell you that if this actually happens, it will not be anmiated.

My Dream Cast:

Elphaba - Elizabeth Gillies, Cynthia Erivo, Jessie J, or maybe even Caroline Bowman
Glinda - Ariana Grande, Anna Kendrick, Lucy Hale
Madame Morrible - Bette Midler, Meryl Streep
Fiyero - Aaron Tveit, Josh Hutcherson, Leslie Odom Jr
Nessarose - Kimiko Glenn, Allison Williams

Now you do realize in the show there is a time jump after "Defying Gravity" right?

The brazilian production of Wicked also confirmed this.

It has been in development hell for many years for they to confirm this if it was not a sure thing.

Also, by then they can count on a 16 year Broadway run, 13 year West End run, and conquering the biggest musical markets outside these two: Brazil and Asia as a whole.

They have nothing to loose anymore. It is happening.

I'm only too worried about Defying Gravity: you can make a scene like that properly (it is possible on film? time will tell) and expect the audience just to move on with the story without a moment to catch their breath.

You make my head hurt.

Only with Emma Watson as Glinda.

Depending on how Beauty and the Beast goes, I could actually see Emma Watson being a contender for Glinda considering she still reads early 20s on camera.

I've thought that for quite a while.

Thank God this is a Broadway board. So many people on here should never, ever go into film.

My ideal cast for the wicked movie

elphaba: an unkown(Alison Luff) or Cynthia Erivo

Glinda: an unknown or Anna Camp

Fiyero: Nick Jonas or Zac Efron

Madame Morrible: Helen Mirren or Queen Latifah

The Wizard: Steve Martin

Nessa: Zendaya or Hailee Steinfeld 

Boq: Shawn Mendes or Niall Horan
