"The creative team behind Wicked claims to have tried to condense the plot down to just one film, but an overabundance of material led to the decision to split it into two. Financial considerations also likely came into play as two films will make more money than one. As fans celebrate Wicked: For Good 's release week, let's get you up to speed on everything you need to know, including projected box-office figures."
"Since Part I and For Good were shot back-to-back, many actors are reprising their roles. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande lead the way as former besties Elphaba and Glinda. "Sexiest Man Alive" Jonathan Bailey smolders as Prince Fiyero. Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Yeoh, Marissa Bode, and Ethan Slater all return as the Wizard, Madame Morrible, Nessarose, and Boq, respectively. There are some new additions to the movie as well. Young Glinda is played by Scarlett Spears. Colman Domingo lends his voice to the Cowardly Lion."
Wicked: For Good is the second half of a split film adaptation of the stage musical, arriving a year after Wicked: Part I. The creative team split the story into two films because of excess material and financial incentives for two releases. Principal cast members Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Jonathan Bailey, Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Yeoh, Marissa Bode, and Ethan Slater reprise their roles. New performers include Scarlett Spears as young Glinda and Colman Domingo as the Cowardly Lion. Stephen Schwartz wrote new solo songs for Glinda and Elphaba and expanded other numbers; viewing Part I remains recommended.
