People around the world are getting ready for another adventure in the world of Oz, since Wicked: For Good is hitting theaters on Nov. 21, 2025.
After the first movie left audiences hanging with Glinda and Elphaba going their separate ways, the next chapter promises a very satisfying ending.
This is not the first time that the story shows up in the public consciousness, since Wicked was originally a book before being turned into the hit broadway musical. Of course, it is heavily inspired by the 1939 movie, Wizard Of Oz.
Rather than focusing on Dorothy, it focuses on the two witches Elphaba and Glinda, which are portrayed by actors Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande respectively.
Wicked was directed by Jon M. Chu, who also made hit movies such as Crazy Rich Asians and In the Heights.
Not only that, but the team behind the scenes helped it win two Oscars for both best costume design and best production design.
Students at PV high have a lot of opinions when it comes to Wicked and are expecting from the sequel.
“I am looking forward to seeing the relationship between Glinda and Elphaba unfold as they go on their journeys together and grow a stronger bond.” sophomore Eden Lasry said.
The movie wasn’t a universal hit, however.
Sophomore Ashley Neese gave a different point of view on the movie.
“I will not be seeing the second movie and when I saw the first one. I thought it was honestly pretty bad. I didn’t really like the plot and I feel like they really dragged the movie,” Neese said.
Of course, if dragging the movie on was a good decision or not is a matter of personal opinion.
“It was a great idea because it really makes the viewers interested and keeps them on their toes. I think way more people will come because the first movie was phenomenal.” Freshman Lacey Kakazu said.
Despite some people criticizing something, other people may love it for that very reason.
