Ariana Grande's Wedding Scene: Easter Egg Hunt in Wicked: For Good Trailer!
WICKED WARS: The Battle for Oz Heats Up as New Trailer Unleashes a Storm of Secrets and Surprises!
Get ready, Wizardry fans, because the highly anticipated sequel to the record-breaking musical phenomenon Wicked is finally here! And trust us, it's going to be a wild ride. The first trailer for Wicked: For Good has dropped, sending shockwaves through the fandom as we delve deeper into the magical world of Oz.
The anticipation has been building up since the release of the original, and it seems that director Jon M. Chu is pulling out all the stops for this epic conclusion. But what caught our attention was the Easter egg hidden in plain sight – a nod to his previous masterpiece, Crazy Rich Asians! It seems that Chu's love for grand weddings knows no bounds, as fans are quick to point out the striking resemblance between Glinda's nuptials and Araminta Lee's jaw-dropping $40 million affair from the 2018 hit.
Social media sleuths were on the case, spotting the familiar scenery and decorations that scream "Chu- brand wedding magic." But we have to ask: is this a deliberate homage or simply a coincidence? Whatever the reason, fans are loving every minute of it! "Jon M. Chu's growth as a director is truly impressive," tweeted one enthusiastic fan. "When you look at his filmography, CRAZY RICH ASIANS was the turning point where he really began to step up as a director." Will Wicked: For Good prove to be another hit?
As we dive back into the world of Oz, we're introduced to the tumultuous relationship between Glinda and Elphaba. The two witches are more divided than ever, with Glinda playing the role of the Wizard's pawn and Elphaba struggling to expose the truth about their manipulative leader. Meanwhile, Prince Fiyero is getting ready to tie the knot with Glinda in a lavish ceremony that's equal parts Cinderella-esque and Ozian.
But amidst all the glamour and glitz, there's a storm brewing. As tensions between the Wizard, Madame Morrible, and Elphaba reach an all-time high, a new player enters the scene – none other than Dorothy Gale herself! The iconic heroine from Kansas is making her grand entrance in Wicked: For Good, but fans are still buzzing about who will be playing the role. Alisha Weir, 15-year-old star of Matilda the Musical and Abigail, has been touted as a frontrunner, but some speculate that Addison Rae or even Taylor Swift could slip into those iconic ruby red slippers.
We can't wait to see it all unfold! Wicked: For Good promises new original songs, fan-favorite hits like "For Good" and "No Good Deed," and heart-wrenching drama that will keep you on the edge of your seat. With its record-breaking budget and box office success (raking in a whopping $747.2 million), this sequel is sure to break even more records.
Stay tuned, Wizardry fans! The battle for Oz has only just begun. Wicked: For Good hits theaters on November 21st – mark those calendars!
