CinemaCon’s Wicked: For Goodreveal teaser shows Elphaba’s line, “You’re the only friend I ever had,” and Glinda’s response demonstrates a sad component of the upcoming sequel. Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo led the cast of 2024’s Wicked, playing Glinda and Elphaba in the Oscar-winning musical. The second half of the story will be out sooner than many had hoped, with the film set to be released on November 21, 2025. ScreenRant was among the audience at CinemaCon 2025, who experienced the first-look teaser presented by Universal Studios.
