A Story Too Epic for a Single Movie
Given that the musical covers a significant part ofElphie and Glinda’s time together, Universal realized that single movie wasn’t enough to adapt the extensive storyline.
As a result, the studio announced that the adaptation would actually be split into two parts, with the first installmentflying into theaters next year, and the conclusion scheduled to release a year after its predecessor.Wicked: Part One, was recently moved in the release schedule due to how close it was to the release ofJames Cameron’s thirdAvatarmovie, keeping its run at the box office safe from the Na’vi.
While you wait forWicked: Part Oneto hit theaters on November 27, 2024, you might check out the video featuring Ariana Grande singing on the set of the movie below:
