Universal Pictures has renamed the sequel to this year\u2019s musical hit to \u201cWicked: For Good.\u201d The movie, which chronicles the second act of the beloved Broadway show, will open in theaters on Nov. 21, 2025. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cWicked: Part One\u201d landed on the big screen on Nov. 22 and has grossed $359 million domestically and more than $524 million worldwide to date. It\u2019s currently the highest-grossing Broadway adaptation in domestic box office history, ahead of\u00a01978\u2019s \u201cGrease\u201d\u00a0($188.62 million), as well as the second-biggest worldwide stage-to-screen reimagining after 2008\u2019s \u201cMamma Mia\u201d ($611 million).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tJon M. Chu directed the two-part \u201cWicked\u201d extravaganza, which stars Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Yeoh and Jonathan Bailey. Set before, during and after \u201cThe Wizard of Oz,\u201d the story tells the origins of Grande\u2019s Glinda (later known as Glinda the Good) and Erivo\u2019s Elphaba (eventually dubbed the Wicked Witch of the West) before Dorothy landed in Oz and sauntered down the Yellow Brick Road. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cPart One\u201d depicts Glinda and Elphaba\u2019s time together at Shiz University, where they are forced to be roommates and eventually become besties. The second movie picks up after Elphaba is fully in control of her powers and has been declared an enemy of the state by the Wizard (Goldblum) and Madame Morrible (Yeoh). The sequel\u2019s new title is inspired by the emotional Act 2 song about how the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good\u00a0have been changed by their friendship with each other.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tChu teased the second half of the Ozian story,<a data-id=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2024\/film\/news\/wicked-defying-gravity-longer-two-movies-dorothy-part-2-1236214707\/\" data-type=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2024\/film\/news\/wicked-defying-gravity-longer-two-movies-dorothy-part-2-1236214707\/\"> telling Variety<\/a> that the follow-up film is \u201ca doozy\u201d \u2014 at least emotionally speaking.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cI did not know the context of where we\u2019d be in society right now.
