What This Means For Wicked: For Good
It Teases A Further Unraveling Of Elphaba & Glinda’s Relationship
The first part of theWickedduology established the characters' motivations properly with picturesque set designs and well-adapted songs from the 2003 Broadway musical. One of the highlights was the whimsical dynamic between Elphaba and Glinda, which was tested throughout until it was somewhat broken down in the film’s final act, ending with Elphaba flying off with a new, arguably dangerous sense of self.This ending hints at a face-off between the two characters and a further unraveling of Elphabaas she ventures into a journey that will inevitably lead to her defeat.

The first poster ofWicked: For Goodconcisely highlights the conflict proposed in the first film, withthe immense distance between them indicating their estrangement. Hopefully, this hints that the second part will follow the Broadway musical’s narrative, although it has been confirmed by the team that there will be two original songs for the movie.
