Wicked is not only the first film adaptation in two parts of the iconic Broadway musical but has also become one of the most anticipated movies for fans of the show and its big stars, like Jeff Goldblum.

The story follows Elphaba, a green-skinned woman framed by the Wizard of Oz, who becomes the Wicked Witch of the West. However, her path collides with that of Glinda, the Good Witch of the North.

Jon M. Chu directed the film, while Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo joined forces to portray the main characters, along with Jonathan Bailey (Bridgerton) and Michelle Yeoh (Everything Everywhere All at Once).
