A spellbinding glimpse as we get the first look at the Wicked trailer starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo.
In a world where the anticipation for movie trailers can rival that of the films themselves, the first look at the “Wicked” trailer has arrived, casting a mesmerising spell over fans and newcomers alike. Will the movie be as good as the award-winning play?
What to expect from Wicked
“Wicked” offers us a ticket back to the enchanting land of Oz, but not as we’ve known it from the tales of Dorothy Gale. Instead, the trailer teases a story that predates Dorothy’s whirlwind arrival, focusing on the complex relationship between two young witches: Elphaba, the misunderstood future Wicked Witch of the West, and Glinda, destined to become the Good Witch. Through breathtaking visuals and snippets of dialogue, the trailer hints at a narrative rich with themes of friendship, identity, and the murky line between good and evil. The familiar strains of “Defying Gravity” promise a story that soars beyond the confines of black-and-white morality, inviting viewers to explore the shades of grey that define us all.
Cast
The trailer showcases the stellar cast led by Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda, whose chemistry ignites the screen with a vibrant energy. Their portrayal of the iconic characters breathes new life into the beloved tale, promising performances that blend emotional depth with the enchanting allure of musical theatre. The supporting cast, including Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero, Ethan Slater as Boq, Bowen Yang as Pfannee, and Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard, adds a layer of richness and diversity to the magical world of Oz, ensuring a dynamic and compelling ensemble.
Wicked Release Date
The countdown begins for Wicked release date, with the first part of “Wicked” set to grace theatres on November 27, 2024, and the sequel following a year later on November 26, 2025.
