Get ready to defy gravity, twice! The beloved Broadway sensation, Wicked, is being adapted into *two* epic movies. That's right, Glinda and Elphaba's story is so grand, it needs two films to fully unfold. But why two parts?
Think of it this way: the original musical already packs in a lot. Spreading the narrative across two movies allows for deeper exploration of the characters, more detailed world-building of Oz, and, of course, more of those show-stopping musical numbers we all adore.
So, what can you expect? The first film will likely cover the initial meeting of Glinda and Elphaba at Shiz University, their evolving friendship, and the early stages of Elphaba's transformation into the Wicked Witch of the West. The second film will delve into the political turmoil of Oz, the escalating conflict between Glinda and Elphaba, and the ultimate showdown that shapes their legacies.
Get ready to immerse yourself in the full, rich tapestry of Wicked like never before. It's going to be a wild ride, and we can't wait!
