Wicked 2 Is For Good
Who can say if the title’s changed for the better?

Mild spoilers ahead for Wicked.
Get ready to stop holding space for “Defying Gravity” and make room “For Good.” Part two of Jon M. Chu’s Wicked adaptation is only 340 days away and you don’t need a vision almost like a prophecy to know there’s going to be another bonkers press tour starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. Below, everything the mighty Wizard (Universal Pictures and co.) have shared about the upcoming sequel, now titled Wicked: For Good.
Presenting: a new title.
The second movie will be called Wicked: For Good, after the most iconic song in the show’s second act, defying expectations that they might come up with a better subtitle.

What’s new in Wicked: For Good?
There are at least two new songs, confirmed by both director Jon M. Chu and composer Stephen Schwartz. Schwartz explained the decision to The Messenger in 2023, “The storytelling required it, and therefore they were created — the intention was that they were organic and not imposed on the movie.” It’s too late to make this request but more Jonathan Bailey please.
Are there any new characters joining the movie?
Some of Wicked: Part Two For Good plays out at the same time as the events of The Wizard of Oz, and in the latter, we meet Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion, and the Tinman. While the stage show doesn’t emphasize Dorothy — she’s only a silhouette or a voice-over at times — the movie could change that. Plus, it would be fun to see the foreshadowing from the first film play out as it’s revealed Dorothy’s friends are from Elphaba’s past. Fellow Ozians are already speculating on who Dorothy could be played by, but nothing is confirmed.
When does Wicked: For Good come out?
Get ready for another Turkey season filled with finger-holding. The curtain raises November 21, 2025. Hopefully, the next press tour will be just as, if not more, emotional.
