Universal Pictures’ final Wicked: For Good trailer is so exquisite that it deserves/demands multiple viewings. The three-minute trailer features a showdown between Elphaba and Glinda, along with snippets of Dorothy, the Cowardly Lion, the Tin Man, and “No Good Deed.” But the most striking moment is Cynthia Erivo delivering the line, “Just look at me, not with your eyes, with theirs.”
The musical also stars Jonathan Bailey as Prince Fiyero, Ethan Slater as Boq, Marissa Bode as Nessarose, Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, and Jeff Goldblum as The Wizard. Bowen Yang and Bronwyn James star as Glinda’s assistants, Pfannee and ShenShen, and Sharon D. Clarke voices Elphaba’s childhood nanny, Dulcibear.
Jon M. Chu directs and Winnie Holzman and Dana Fox are the writers. Producers include Marc Platt and David Stone, with Holzman, Fox, Stephen Schwartz, David Nicksay, and Jared LeBoff executive producing.
Wicked: For Good opens in theaters on November 21, 2025.
Universal offers this synopsis of the concluding chapter:
“Elphaba (Erivo), now demonized as The Wicked Witch of the West, lives in exile, hidden within the Ozian forest while continuing her fight for the freedom of Oz’s silenced Animals and desperately trying to expose the truth she knows about The Wizard (Goldblum).
Glinda, meanwhile, has become the glamorous symbol of Goodness for all of Oz, living at the palace in Emerald City and reveling in the perks of fame and popularity. Under the instruction of Madame Morrible (Yeoh), Glinda is deployed to serve as an effervescent comfort to Oz, reassuring the masses that all is well under the rule of The Wizard.
As Glinda’s stardom expands and she prepares to marry Prince Fiyero (Bailey) in a spectacular Ozian wedding, she is haunted by her separation from Elphaba. She attempts to broker a conciliation between Elphaba and The Wizard, but those efforts will fail, driving Elphaba and Glinda only further apart. The aftershocks will transform Boq (Slater) and Fiyero forever and threaten the safety of Elphaba’s sister, Nessarose (Bode), when a girl from Kansas comes crashing into all their lives.
As an angry mob rises against the Wicked Witch, Glinda and Elphaba will need to come together one final time. With their singular friendship now the fulcrum of their futures, they will need to truly see each other, with honesty and empathy, if they are to change themselves, and all of Oz, for good.”
