Both Gladiator II and Wicked are dubbed this year's Barbenheimer, sharing lavish spectacle but unlike Barbie and Oppenheimer, they're rooted in well-known stories and characters.
Wicked, directed by Jon M. Chu, takes a glossy maximalist approach to the origin story of the Wicked Witch of the West, presenting a complex character named Elphaba.
With a blend of comedy and drama, we see the evolution of Elphaba's relationship with Galinda, played by Ariana Grande, as they transition from rivals to friends.
As Elphaba's journey unfolds, the film hints at her transformation into Oz's Public Enemy No. 1, notably showcasing the darker side of the Wizard through Jeff Goldblum's character.
