Wicked: Part 2 confirms new title ahead of 2025 release
As a lifelong theater enthusiast who has grown up with the original Wicked cast album on repeat, I couldn’t be more thrilled about the upcoming release of “Wicked: For Good”! Ever since the first movie was announced, my anticipation has been building like Elphaba’s green smoke.
Wicked: Part Two has announced a new movie title ahead of its 2025 release.
As a die-hard fan, I’m thrilled to share that the sequel to the blockbuster movie version of the beloved musical will hit theaters on November 21, 2025. It’s titled Wicked: For Good, and I can hardly wait!
The official account for the movie announced on Twitter that both the release date and the title have been set: “You are about to undergo a transformation. Wicked: For Good, hitting theaters on November 21, 2025.
In the second film, the title shares a name with a song featured during Act 2 of the musical: “For Good”.
In the upcoming sequel movie and its accompanying soundtrack, audiences will find a tune that focuses on the bond between Elphaba and Glinda. Notably, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande are set to bring their own interpretations of this friendship to life in this rendition.
Notably, “Wicked: For Good” makes its debut in movie theaters across the US and UK a full year following the initial film’s release, which hit screens on November 22, 2024.
The movie is doing great at the ticket sales, currently ranking as the 8th highest-earning film of 2024 globally.
In the second part of the film, actors like Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Jonathan Bailey, Michelle Yeoh, and Jeff Goldblum, who have all completed filming for both installments simultaneously, will make their appearances.
It was determined before the filming began that the story of Wicked would be split into two movies. Composer Stephen Schwartz noted that if it had been one movie, the adaptation wouldn’t have been as faithful because significant parts, such as those they wanted to include, would have needed to be cut or omitted.
As a devoted admirer, I believe one factor contributing to the division of the musical was the placement of its iconic anthem, ‘Defying Gravity.’ This powerful song, which has become synonymous with the production, concludes the initial act, possibly sparking this separation.
Schwartz added, “Breaking past ‘Defying Gravity’ was quite challenging due to its design as an emotional climax. Following it immediately with another scene felt underwhelming and anticlimactic.
The filming for both parts was completed in January 2024, and it appears that there are no planned reshoots before the second movie hits theaters.
Wicked: For Good will be released on November 22, 2025. Wicked: Part One is out now in cinemas.
