The film, which has created buzz for awards season has turned the fandom pink and green with excitement for the sequel, which makes us wonder if Wicked: Part One will be now referred to as simply: Wicked or (No One Mourns the) Wicked. It can’t just be Wicked: Part One which was clunky which makes it being Wicked and Wicked: For Good make more sense.
Inspired by the song in Act II of the Broadway musical Wicked, which will be a huge turning point in next year’s sequel, “For Good” centers how Elphaba and Glinda’s lives have been irrevocably changed by one another. Just how, we’ll find out November 21, 2025. Wicked part one is currently in theaters.
