The highly anticipated sequel to the movie Wicked, titled Wicked: For Good, begins filming this week. Following the positive reception to the first film, the sequel will once again star Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Marissa Bode, Michelle Yeoh, and Jeff Goldblum. Erivo, who plays Elphaba and has already received an Oscar nomination for her performance, has shared that her character will undergo significant development and growth throughout the second film.
Cynthia Erivo speaks about Elphaba’s growth in Wicked: For Good
Cynthia Erivo recently shared insights into her return as Elphaba, explaining how the character has changed. She described Elphaba as having spent time alone since the first film, burdened by her reputation as the Wicked Witch but still striving to do good. Erivo revealed that Elphaba is now living in seclusion, in a hidden treetop lair that allows her both privacy and the ability to fly.
The actress explained that when her character reappears, she’s become more reserved and determined. She’s actively honing her magical abilities, diligently studying an important book called The Grimmerie, and fully accepting her powers. This shows how the character is growing and hints at what’s to come in the story.
About Wicked: For Good
Five years after the defeat of the Wizard of Oz, the story of Wicked: For Good unfolds. Elphaba Thropp has been exiled and wrongly branded as the Wicked Witch of the West, depicted as cruel and intent on harming everyone in Oz. At the same time, her former friend, Glinda Upland, becomes the public face of the Wizard’s publicity campaigns and announces her engagement to Fiyero Tigelaar, who has just been appointed Captain of the Wizard’s Guard.
Elphaba continues to advocate for the rights of Animals and frequently confronts the Wizard, determined to expose his deception. This leads to conflicts, notably with Madame Morrible, and also tragically pits her against her younger half-sister, Nessarose Thropp, resulting in widespread turmoil.
