Universal Pictures has released the first teaser for 'Wicked: For Good,' the highly anticipated sequel to the 2024 hit film 'Wicked,' starring Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda. The teaser, which hints at an emotional and dramatic continuation of the witches' story, was launched six months ahead of the film's November 21, 2025 release date and features a haunting reprise of the song "For Good." Directed by Jon M. Chu with a script by Winnie Holzman, the sequel promises new songs and expanded world-building to deepen character arcs and complete the story started in the first film. Fans have expressed excitement and some impatience on social media, eagerly awaiting the full trailer scheduled for June 4, 2025, which will debut during special screenings of the first film. The original film was a major box office success, grossing over $755 million worldwide and receiving 10 Academy Award nominations with wins for Best Costume Design and Best Production Design. Universal's marketing campaign is ramping up, aiming to replicate the original's success during the lucrative pre-Thanksgiving period.
