\n\tThe second half of Jon M. Chu\u2019s Wicked <\/em>films might be nearly a year away, but fans got their first major detail about the sequel on Monday (Dec. 16) when Universal Pictures announced its official title.<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to a social media teaser<\/a>, the follow-up to the Nov. 22 live-action musical starring Cynthia Erivo<\/a> and Ariana Grande<\/a> is named Wicked: For Good<\/em>, a reference to the emotional closing duet sung by show leads Elphaba (Erivo) and Glinda (Grande) toward the end of the stage musical. The project is slated to hit theaters Nov. 21, 2025, one day shy of the first film\u2019s one-year anniversary.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t‘Wicked’ & More All-Time Top-Grossing Film Adaptations of Broadway\u00a0Musicals\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\n\tThe news follows a banner first month for Wicked<\/em>, which has become the highest-grossing movie based on a Broadway musical ever at the domestic box office, with $359 million so far. The soundtrack has also been doing numbers, recently opening at No. 2 on the Billboard 200<\/a> \u2014 the highest ever debut for a big-screen adaptation of a stage musical on the chart.<\/p>\n

\n\tPlus, the project\u2019s leading ladies are already drawing in major awards recognition. Both the Pinocchio <\/em>star and \u201cYes, And?\u201d singer recently scored Golden Globe nominations<\/a>: Erivo is up for best performance by a female actor in a motion picture, musical or comedy, while Grande is nominated for best supporting actress \u2014 and Wicked <\/em>earned Critic\u2019s Choice Awards<\/a> nods for best picture and best acting ensemble.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBeing a part of this project has been a dream come true, and playing Elphaba, a woman who speaks to everyone who has ever felt like they don\u2019t belong and lets them know they have the power to defy gravity, has been the honor of a lifetime,\u201d Erivo wrote <\/a>of the Globes recognition on Instagram Stories Dec. 9.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI am floored and honored to be recognized by members of the @goldenglobes,\u201d added Ari <\/a>of her own nods. \u201ccrying (of course) \u2026 It\u2019s impossible to find my words, but I am simply so deeply grateful for this acknowledgement.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
