Is Universal Planning a Shocking Third Wicked Movie? Here’s What We Know!

by

Last year’s blockbuster hit, Wicked, left fans eagerly waiting for the 2025 release of Wicked: For Good. As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but feel a thrill at the prospect of this film, inspired by the 2003 Broadway sensation that introduced us to Glinda and Elphaba, two witches whose friendship unfolded before the tales in The Wizard of Oz. The sequel promises to shed fresh light on the classic Hollywood movie by weaving its narrative alongside the events of The Wizard of Oz. Initially, it was believed that this upcoming film would serve as the concluding chapter in the Wicked saga. However, a recent buzz suggests otherwise, leaving me pondering what surprises await us.

According to a post by MyTimeToShineHello on X, the user asserted they possessed exclusive information about a potential third “Wicked” movie being deliberated at Universal. If accurate, this revelation would come as an astonishment since it was previously stated that “Wicked: For Good” would encompass the final events depicted in the Broadway musical upon which it’s based. The user did not provide additional details about the possible storyline or plot of a third film, nor any information on whether discussions regarding the idea had taken place with the “Wicked” cast.

It’s no surprise that Universal might be keen on producing a third “Wicked” film, given that the original was a massive financial and critical success, even earning Academy Award nominations. With the trailer for the second film, “Wicked: For Good,” going viral online and hinting at another blockbuster spectacle, it seems like seizing this potential profit is a standard strategy for a movie studio, although the quality of the material remains to be seen.

Conversely, it’s challenging to conceive how another film could be warranted. The second installment of Wicked, as depicted in For Good, seems quite conclusive. It culminates at the same point as The Wizard of Oz, providing a more compassionate perspective on the antagonist from the classic film, The Wicked Witch of the West.

This raises queries such as: What could a third movie focus on? Is there a compelling reason to extend the current narrative? And would the actors be interested in participating in another installment?

All in all, it’s challenging to envision a third installment surpassing this conclusion. If they were to create such a script, the enthusiasm from the theater community could diminish if _Wicked: Part 3_ fails to validate its necessity or fall short of the enchantment of the original musical and the first movie.

It would be quite unexpected given the cast members’ advancing ages and growing career opportunities. However, we’ll keep tabs on this story if new threequel developments emerge or if more rumors about a sequel surface as we approach the release of “Wicked: For Good.
