One of the most beloved and enduring musicals on the stage, Wicked makes its journey to the big screen as a spectacular cinematic event this holiday season.

Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians, In the Heights), Wicked is the first chapter of a two-part immersive, cultural celebration. Wicked Part Two is scheduled to arrive in theaters on November 21, 2025.

Wicked, the untold story of the witches of Oz, stars Emmy, Grammy and Tony winning and Oscar®-nominated powerhouse Cynthia Erivo (Harriet, Broadway’s The Color Purple) as Elphaba, a young woman misunderstood because of her green skin who has yet to discover her true power, and Grammy-winning, multi-platinum recording artist and global superstar Ariana Grande as Glinda, a popular young woman gilded by privilege who has yet to discover her true heart.

The two meet as students at Shiz University in the fantastical Land of Oz and forge an unlikely but profound friendship. Following an encounter with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads and their lives take very different paths. Their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfill their destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
The film also stars Oscar® winner Michelle Yeoh as Shiz University’s regal headmistress Madame Morrible; Olivier Award winner and Emmy nominee Jonathan Bailey (Bridgerton, Fellow Travelers) as Fiyero, a roguish and carefree prince; Tony nominee Ethan Slater (Broadway’s Spongebob Squarepants, Fosse/Verdon) as Boq, an altruistic Munchkin student; Marissa Bode in her feature-film debut as Nessarose, Elphaba’s favored sister; and pop culture icon Jeff Goldblum as the legendary Wizard of Oz.

The cast of characters includes Pfannee and ShenShen, two conniving compatriots of Glinda played by Emmy nominee Bowen Yang (Saturday Night Live) and Bronwyn James (Harlots); a new character created for the film, Miss Coddle, played by Tony nominee Keala Settle (The Greatest Showman) and four-time Emmy winner Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones) as the voice of Dr. Dillamond.

Wicked is produced by Marc Platt p.g.a. (La La Land, The Little Mermaid), whose films, television shows and stage productions have earned a combined 46 Oscar® nominations, 58 Emmy nominations and 36 Tony nominations, and by multiple Tony winner David Stone (Kimberly Akimbo, Next to Normal), with whom Platt produced the blockbuster Wicked stage musical. The executive producers are Stephen Schwartz, David Nicksay, Jared LeBoff, Winnie Holzman and Dana Fox.
Wicked is based on the generation-defining musical stage play with music and lyrics by legendary Grammy and Oscar® winning composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz and book by Winnie Holzman, from the bestselling novel by Gregory Maguire. The screenplay is by Winnie Holzman and Winnie Holzman & Dana Fox. The film score is by John Powell & Stephen Schwartz, with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz.

The Broadway stage musical is produced by Marc Platt, Universal Pictures, the Araca Group, Jon B. Platt and David Stone.

"I've been thinking.."
"So, I've heard!"

From the few clips you can already tell he's bringing a depth to the character that hasn't been possible on the stage

[KavaBuggy]

I feel like it’s impossible for anyone to act with him and not have chemistry. He’s so gifted in that!

[beanosity]

Saw it last night and my wife has never been more disappointed that I am not, in fact, Fiyero

[harveyedgerton]

Great to see that they’re fleshing out Fiyero’s character and the love story between him and Elphaba. It’s going to make the events in Part Two not only feel earned but also hit a lot harder.

Jonathan is just amazing, he's perfect Fiyero ✨💙. I'm so exited, can't wait see him on the big screen

What do Wicked and Frozen have in common:

-A misunderstood young woman played by an Idina Menzel

-A quirky, peppy bestie/sister figure played by an actress named Kristin (or Kristen)

-A love interest played by an actor named Jonathan

[harashe]

Wow, the way he talks about this role. The thought of being drawn to someone's vulnerability/inner self exposed and that getting closer being also a way to get closer to the self is just marvelous

[sagejennings]

Every actor in this movie clearly loves their characters so deeply. Hollywood actors are all just theatre kids. I mean, Ariana Grande was on Broadway, Ethan Slater was on Broadway, Jonathan Bailey was at the West End, Cynthia Erivo was on Broadway. I love when the people on board love their work as much if not more than the audience anticipating it.

[an-qoby]

I feel like everyone's gonna go crazy over the chemistry between Bailey and Cynthia calling it

[iain]

It’s gonna be wild seeing Bailey hit the big screen after being regularly on UK tv since like 2005.

[TheTurkaderr]

I've always loved how Fiyero, in the stage show, is the genesis of bringing Elphaba out of her shell and beginning their love story..if he hadn't snatched the baby lion up and told her let's go, then they might not have ever ended up together. For someone as strong willed as Elphaba, it's so wonderful to have the shallow and callous one make the first move, however awkward and strange it was, to show her he's not all that she thinks of him. It looks like he will have more depth and nuance, something I'd expect no less than from Bailey.

[leightonolsson]

Johnathan Bailey shows just how one role can transform your career

[jeaniebeanie]

I never clicked on a thumbnail so fast. Jonathon as Fiyero has my heart fluttering and completely weak in the knees. My crush on him has become so much bigger seeing him as Fiyero. God, he's so gorgeous. It doesn't help that he's unbelievably charming and a brilliant actor. He's so perfectly cast it's not even funny.

[missezramay]

They are literally the perfect Fiyeraba on screen. I cannot wait another second for this movie!!!

[clari]

As long as you’re mine will be absolutely perfect 💚

[jennamartens]

Saw this today and he is memorizing in every way. Couldn’t take my eyes off of him. His costumes are beautiful and he is absolutely breathtaking!

[macrichardson]

Johnny is such a beautiful man inside and out, i hope that his life continues to be better and better and he meets someone who takes great care of him.
