Team Pink or Team Green – we’re all team Wicked. The upcoming feature adaptation of the stage musical revealed a new poster today.
The poster shows Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda, each with an arm outstretched towards the other. The background shows a blending of Glinda’s signature pink and Elphaba’s green and black. You can also spot some flying monkeys in the distance. Check out the latest Wicked poster below.
The poster also features the tagline “Everyone deserves a chance to fly”. The tagline references the lyric from “Defying Gravity,” one of the musical’s most famous songs.
Wicked, the untold story of the witches of Oz, follows Elphaba, a young woman misunderstood because of her unusual green skin, who has yet to discover her true power, and Glinda, a popular young woman gilded by privilege and ambition, who has yet to discover her true heart.
Elphaba and Glinda meet as students at Shiz University and forge an unlikely but profound friendship. Following an encounter with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads and their lives take very different paths. Glinda’s unflinching desire for popularity sees her seduced by power, while Elphaba’s determination to remain true to herself, and to those around her, will have unexpected and shocking consequences on her future. These adventures will ultimately see them fulfill their destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
Wicked comes from director Jon Chu. In addition to Erivo and Grande, the film’s stars also include Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum, Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Peter Dinklage, and more.
The musical will play out over the course of two feature films. The first releases this fall on November 27. Part 2 premieres November 2025.
The film also plans to release another trailer this week. So, check back to THS for more Wicked news.
