The eagerly awaited trailer for the second film installment has finally been released, fans! Hold on, fans!
At the conclusion of the first film, which featured talented actress Cynthia Erivo, who plays Elphaba, performing a powerful rendition of Defying Gravity before Elphaba escapes the clutches of the Wizard of Oz and his co-conspirator, Madame Morrible, as she flies off into the sky on her broomstick after quickly discovering her true powers, movie fans were left in awe.
And just hours after its release, Wicked: For Good’s trailer, which was released overnight, had the same effect on many people. As Glynda, played by Ariana Grande, stops in her tracks and appears to be looking for something or someone, the epic trailer that was released online begins with a window cracking and the sound of a striking clock.
As Glynda runs out onto a large, sprawling balcony, which bears the same appearance as the balcony where the duo left at the end of the first movie, Glynda says, “Elphaba Thropp, I know you’re out here.” She pleads, “Just come in before the monkeys spot you.”
Before Elphaba appears in the shadows, which causes Glynda to jump, she then turns and turns. The first film installment’s vintage Universal Pictures credits, which nod off to the 1939-released original The Wizard of Oz movie, were then used.
Then the camera turns to Elaphaba, who is seen chanting a spell while holding her broomstick as she slams down a poster with the word “Run” written underneath. Then, the camera travels to Munchkinland, where a poster admonstrates the wicked witch of the west, and she is seen hard at work in a forest.
Glynda the Good, who is seen posing in front of a mirror and adorning her head once more, is captured by the camera.
The flying monkeys, which appear to be Madame Morrible’s control, are then seen in another scene, where she is said to have said, “The Wicked Witch can’t elude us forever,” and are then spotted.
As Madame Morrible observes, “Not with Prince Fiyero and his squadron hot on her trial,” she then continues as an image of Fiyero, Elphaba’s love interest, who has since joined the army from his days at Shiz University.
As The Wizard of Oz is being seen, the camera suddenly abruptly cuts, and Glynda can be heard yelling, “No good deed goes unpunished, that’s my new creed.” As Elphaba is seen writing “Our Wizard Lies” in the sky, “No one believed in you more than I did,” the Elphaba can be heard saying.
Glynda is also in the dark about her beloved friend, who is currently facing conflict. Elphaba, they’re coming for you, she is reportedly saying. Elphaba recalls items from their time at Shiz, specifically a leaflet for Emerald City, which has now marked the day when both of their lives have changed after meeting The Wizard, while Glynda then sings the lyrics to For Good. Elphaba opens the leaflet, which contains a note from a dear friend. The message reads, “I hope you got what your heart desires, Glynda.”
The pair are then caught on camera sitting side by side as Glynda rests her head on Elphaba’s shoulder while Glynda sings, “I know I am who I am today because I knew you,” in the background.
Although the pair will initially appear to be on opposing sides in the film, it appears that there is hope for reconciliation. Glynda is seen saying to Elphaba, “Think of what we can do, together.
Before a message to Wicked fans appears on the screen, the trailer continues with more of what is to come, including what appears to be Glynda and Fiyero’s wedding. The phrase “Witness the epic conclusion” appears in the text.
The Wizard, Elphaba, and Glynda are also scheduled to reunite as they both appear to be dancing together, hinting at a resolution, before the movie’s “And be changed for good” comes to an end, prompting the Wizard to ominously demand, “Bring me the broom of the Wicked Witch of the West.”
The Cowardly Lion, Tin Man, and Scarecrow appear in the trailer, where Dorothy can be spotted conversing with The Wizard while the trio is briefly seen speaking to each other.
