Why the ‘For Good’ Trailer Has Us Spellbound

 

Forget the yellow brick road, 2024 was paved with green. Wicked wasn’t just a box office phenomenon; it was a cultural force, soaring to 10 Academy Award nominations and snagging wins for its breathtaking Production and Costume Design.

Now, director Jon M. Chu and the powerhouse duo of Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande are ready to defy gravity all over again with Wicked: For Good. The first trailer is here, and it’s an absolute spectacle—but a word of warning for newbies: it dives deep into the story, so proceed with caution if you want to avoid spoilers!

The film picks up after Elphaba’s (Erivo) explosive confrontation with the Wizard (Jeff Goldblum). Branded a witch, she’s now a fugitive fighting from the shadows. Meanwhile, Glinda (Grande) has fully embraced her role as the “Good Witch,” becoming the public face of the Wizard’s regime. But as the trailer reveals, her heart remains with her friend. Can Glinda protect Elphaba from the mounting witch hunt, or will their divided loyalties tear Oz apart?

The real magic of the new preview is its focus on the iconic music. We’re treated to glimpses of Grande’s “Thank Goodness,” Erivo’s powerful “No Good Deed,” and a chillingly beautiful duet of the titular “For Good” that will undoubtedly give every fan chills.

Check out the trailer above and prepare to become completely obsessulated! Wicked: For Good also stars Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Bowen Yang, and Marissa Bode.
