They were once best friends, now they are on opposite sides. The new trailer for Wicked: For Good teases a heartbreaking reunion between Glinda and Elphaba.
The second chapter of Wicked is coming, and the newly released trailer gives fans their first emotional glimpse into what happens after Elphaba’s escape. With powerful standoffs, iconic costumes, and stunning visuals, Wicked: For Good promises to be an epic continuation of the story.
A Friendship At A Turning Point
The trailer shows Glinda, played by Ariana Grande, searching for Elphaba, who has disappeared after the events of the first film. Her voice calls out, “Elphaba Thropp, I know you are out there,” setting the tone for a story shaped by distance, conflict, and the memories of a broken friendship.
Cynthia Erivo returns as a more confident and determined Elphaba. In one key scene in the trailer, she says quietly but firmly, “There is no going back. This is between the Wizard and me.” Her transformation feels complete, and the trailer suggests a deeper focus on justice and self–acceptance.
Familiar Faces Return
Several key characters from the first film are back in Wicked: For Good. Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero, whose loyalty and fate remain a mystery. Jeff Goldblum returns as the spooky and manipulative Wizard of Oz, an important figure in Elphaba’s rebellion. Michelle Yeoh once again plays Madame Morrible, whose presence hints at political tension and hidden agendas within the Emerald City.
A Glimpse Of Familiar Faces
Toward the end of the trailer, fans get a clear look at the familiar group from The Wizard of Oz. Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion all make brief appearances, walking down the Yellow Brick Road together. These moments hint that Wicked: For Good is slowly moving toward the classic story we know, weaving Elphaba and Glinda’s journey into the larger legacy of Oz.
Coming This November
Wicked: For Good comes to theaters on November 21, 2025. With strong emotions, quiet political themes, a talented cast, and beautiful visuals, the movie looks like a thoughtful and moving next chapter in a story that many people love.
