The trailer will debut Wednesday night, providing fans a sneak peek into the second and final chapter of the Broadway adaptation, which hits theaters on November 21.
Based on the beloved Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, "Wicked" reinterprets L.

The first film installment, released on November 22, 2024, grossed over $755 million globally against a budget of approximately $150 million. A special one-time theatrical re-release on Wednesday is expected to boost these figures even further.
The film has exceeded expectations, garnering significant nominations for major awards, including the Golden Globes and Academy Awards. Erivo has earned an Oscar nod for Best Actress, while Grande has been recognized in the Best Supporting Actress category. The film also clinched Oscars for Best Costume Design and Best Production Design, while winning a Golden Globe for cinematic achievement.
Wicked originally took to the Broadway stage in 2003, drawing inspiration from Gregory Maguire’s novel "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West." With music by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Winnie Holzman, its vibrant score and themes exploring friendship and perception have captivated audiences worldwide.
Directed by Jon M. Chu, known for "Crazy Rich Asians" and "In the Heights," both the "Wicked" films promise an enchanting cinematic journey. Prepare to be spellbound!
