Wicked: For Good 2025

The film, Wicked: For Good, serves as the second part of the musical fantasy adaptation, picking up one year after the first film's events. Elphaba Thropp (Cynthia Erivo), now demonized as the "Wicked Witch of the West" by Madame Morrible's propaganda, lives as a fugitive fighting for Animal rights, while Glinda Upland (Ariana Grande) has become the celebrated "Glinda the Good," spokesperson for the deceitful Wizard of Oz (Jeff Goldblum) and preparing for a public engagement to Fiyero (Jonathan Bailey), who is now Captain of the Gale Force searching for Elphaba. The plot covers Elphaba's journey to embracing her "wickedness" and the dramatic conclusion of her friendship with Glinda. Key events include Elphaba's visit to her sister Nessarose (Marissa Bode), which leads to Boq (Ethan Slater) being accidentally transformed into the Tin Man; Elphaba and Fiyero finally professing their love, followed by Fiyero sacrificing himself to save Elphaba, who then transforms him into the Scarecrow; the arrival of Dorothy and her house, which fatally crushes Nessarose; and the final, tearful confrontation where Elphaba fakes her death by "melting" to protect Glinda and escape Oz with Fiyero (as the Scarecrow). Glinda then uses the truth about the Wizard being Elphaba's father to expose him and Morrible (Michelle Yeoh), taking leadership of Oz and maintaining the myth of the Wicked Witch to safeguard her friend's freedom, setting the stage for the traditional The Wizard of Oz story. The main cast features returning stars Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda, alongside Jonathan Bailey (Fiyero), Jeff Goldblum (The Wizard), Michelle Yeoh (Madame Morrible), Ethan Slater (Boq), and Marissa Bode (Nessarose). Directed by Jon M. Chu, the film generally received positive audience scores (around 95-97% CinemaScore/Popcornmeter), though critical reviews were somewhat more mixed compared to the first part, holding a 67-71% on Rotten Tomatoes. At the box office, it proved to be a major commercial success, with an estimated domestic opening weekend of around $150-$163 million and a projected global total in the range of $950 million or more, making it one of the top-grossing films of 2025.As for streaming, based on typical theatrical windows for Universal films, it is reportedly expected to arrive on the Peacock streaming service in the US and potentially on international platforms like Jio Hotstar in India in early 2026, approximately four to five months after its November 2025 theatrical release date.
