Excitement continues to grow for the highly successful Broadway adaptation of “Wicked,” with the second part of the film receiving a new title. Universal has announced that the sequel will now be known as “Wicked: For Good,” inspired by a popular duet from the musical.
The iconic song, performed by the characters Elphaba and Glinda, played by Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, celebrates the transformative power of their friendship. You can relive the magic by watching Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth perform “For Good” in a video from 2016.
“Wicked” has soared to success at the global box office, grossing $525 million worldwide, with $359 million coming from North American audiences. This makes it the highest-grossing Broadway film adaptation of all time. In addition, the film is set to become the third-highest grossing domestic release of the year, surpassing even Universal’s “Despicable Me 4.”
While the first part of “Wicked” is currently playing in theaters, fans can look forward to the release of “Wicked: For Good” on November 21, 2025.
