The movie Wicked: For Good will be a little shorter than the original, lasting over 20 minutes less. The sequel, starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo as Glinda and Elphaba, comes out in theaters on November 21st.
At 2 hours and 17 minutes long, Wicked 2 is shorter than the first Wicked movie, which runs for 2 hours and 40 minutes.
The British Board of Film Classification reports the new movie has a runtime of 137 minutes and 21 seconds, which is almost 23 minutes shorter than the original.
What to Read Next
The new movie continues the story right after the heartbreaking split between Elphaba and Glinda in the first film, and it’s already been a huge success with both audiences and critics.
This musical fantasy continues the story of two witch friends whose bond is threatened when one is falsely accused of being evil by the magical governing body.
Joining Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande in the movie are returning cast members Jonathan Bailey, Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Yeoh, and Marissa Bode.
Director Jon M Chu recently explained why he chose to remove a well-known song from the beginning of the movie’s opening scene.
The director told Collider he originally intended to start the sequel by showing a summary of ‘Defying Gravity,’ but he decided against it after an initial test screening with audiences.
During the initial screening, I rewound the footage to the beginning of ‘Defying Gravity’. We replayed the song, and then immediately jumped back into the main content to re-engage the audience.
He explained that after further consideration, the initial plan wasn’t necessary. He’d originally thought people needed to revisit the emotions from a past relationship before starting a new one, but after showing it to a test audience, he realized people were ready to move forward and were excited about the current situation without needing a reminder of the past.
Wicked: For Good is released in cinemas on 21 November.
I’m so excited – the latest issue of Living Legends is out! You can grab Ariana & Witches at all good newsagents or order it online for only £8.99. I can’t wait to read it!
