The movie adaptation of Wicked will be released in theaters in two parts: Part 1 premieres on November 22, 2024, and Part 2 is scheduled for November 26, 2025[1][2][3]. The film brings the beloved Broadway musical to the big screen and stars Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda[1]. The decision to split the story into two parts was made to preserve the integrity of the original material, allowing time for character development and important plotlines[1][2]. The first part will end on a dramatic note, building anticipation for the conclusion in 2025[1].
