Wicked For Good just dropped its final trailer, and honestly? It’s everything fans dreamed of and more. But before we get swept away by bubbles and broomsticks, let’s take a quick look back. The first Wicked movie cast a spell on audiences, grossing about $756 million worldwide against a $150 million budget. Awards season loved it too: ten Oscar nominations, two wins (Costume Design and Production Design), and a Golden Globe for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement. Yet, the biggest conversation wasn’t about costumes or sets. It was Ariana Grande. Her sparkling performance as Glinda earned raves, and many swore she deserved Best Supporting Actress. Instead, she lost to Zoe Saldaña in Emilia Pérez, a film adored by critics but loathed by many audiences. Fans still grumble that Ariana was robbed, and this lingering frustration makes her return in Wicked For Good feel even more triumphant. Wicked: For Good | Final Trailer Glinda’s Bubble Era The trailer opens with Glinda crowning herself in a mirror as “Thank Goodness” plays. She isn’t smiling, though, and Madame Morrible’s voice insists, “It’s more important than ever that you lift everyone’s spirits as only you can.” We see Glinda at a press conference, little girls […]

I am really curious about the new song. The trailer did not show it, but if it is anything like “For Good,” it could be emotional and memorable. I hope they find a way to use it in future stage productions. I understand what happened with Evita—sometimes songs created for movies can enhance Broadway, but other times they are left out. I hope the new song in Wicked For Good does not get ignored. It deserves attention if it adds to the story or the characters’ emotions.
 
Seeing Glinda with this bubble tech is funny and clever. It makes her more relatable, like someone you could follow online, but at the same time, I can feel the weight of her public image. Elphaba crashing the celebration with skywriting gives me chills. I like that the story explores friendship and betrayal. It is more than magic and spectacle; it feels emotional. I am curious about how their relationship will change and whether they can trust each other again. The mix of humor and heartbreak in the trailer works really well for me. I will definitely watch it in IMAX because it looks like the visuals will be stunning, especially with flying monkeys and robot fights. Overall, the trailer gives a strong impression that this movie will balance drama, comedy, and musical moments successfully.
 
I really enjoyed watching the trailer. It shows that the creators are not afraid to take risks with the story. Glinda acting like an influencer is clever, and the interaction between her and Elphaba seems intense and well-written. I like that there are Easter eggs from the original and stage versions. Even small moments, like the Tin Man crying and Dorothy’s shadow grabbing the broom, show attention to detail. The trailer makes it clear that this movie will have humor, emotion, and action all at once. I am looking forward to seeing how they handle the balance between the spectacle and the personal drama between the two witches.
 
The emotional side of the trailer hit me the most. Glinda and Elphaba’s conversation during “For Good” shows that their friendship, no matter the conflict, is deep and meaningful. I like how the story seems to show their struggle with responsibility, power, and public expectation. The visuals look beautiful, especially the bubble effects and the flying sequences. Even small character moments, like Glinda admitting she has no plan, make the characters feel human and relatable. I feel like the movie will make me laugh and cry, and it looks like a strong continuation of the first story. I am excited to experience it in theaters.
 

I don’t think they will ever show Dorothy’s face, and honestly, that works fine. You can imagine her however you like—maybe Judy Garland or Fairuza Balk—and it still fits. The focus is on Glinda and Elphaba, not Dorothy. Her story belongs to The Wizard of Oz, not Wicked, so keeping her as a shadow keeps the attention where it should be. Showing her face might even distract from the witches’ journey, which is the real heart of the story. The mystery allows each viewer to picture Dorothy in their own way, and that can make the magical world feel bigger. It also keeps the story about the witches’ choices, conflicts, and emotions rather than shifting focus to someone else. For me, leaving Dorothy as a shadow keeps the narrative tight and meaningful.
 
If you really want to see Dorothy, just watch The Wizard of Oz. This story is about Glinda and Elphaba, their friendship, and their struggles. Dorothy’s role is always going to be secondary here, so there is no need to show her face. The focus should stay on the witches and their journey, not on a character whose story belongs to another film. The shadow works perfectly to remind us of her presence without taking attention away from Glinda and Elphaba.
 
Watching the trailer, I was impressed by how much it teases both action and emotional drama. Fiyero wielding a gun and then kissing Elphaba underwater is unexpected but intriguing. The mix of humor and heartbreak feels very intentional, and I think it will make the story more complex than a typical musical. The movie seems to question appearances versus truth, and that makes the conflict between Glinda and Elphaba more compelling. The trailer gives just enough to make me excited without giving away the ending. I think this film could appeal to fans of the original while also attracting a new audience.
 

I am still bitter that Ariana Grande never won a Golden Globe or an Oscar. Her performance as Glinda was incredible, full of charm, emotion, and energy. Meanwhile, Emilia Pérez is such a bad movie—honestly, crap, trash. The songs were unbearable, almost ear-bleeding, and the story made no sense to me. It really did not deserve any awards, and I still cannot understand how it beat Ariana. She carried so much of the film’s heart, and it feels like the recognition she deserved was completely stolen. It makes her return in Wicked For Good feel even more satisfying, but I will never forget that she got robbed.
 

Oh, so they’re going to make Nessarose fly instead of walk. That actually makes sense, and I think it’s a smart choice for the film. Kudos to Marissa Bode, the actress playing her, who is an ambulatory paraplegic. It would have been very difficult to have her walk on screen, so giving Nessarose the ability to fly allows the character to be fully present and active without compromising the story or the actress’s needs. I appreciate that the filmmakers found a way to respect both the character and Marissa’s abilities. It feels like a thoughtful solution that adds something new and exciting to the movie.​
