The wait is over: Wicked movie fans can finally watch this story's epic conclusion in Wicked: For Good, opening in theaters this Friday, November 21. It's been a full year in between movies, however, and some fans could benefit from rewatching the first Wicked movie from the comfort of their homes.
Starring Cynthia Erivo (Elphaba), Ariana Grande (Glinda), Jonathan Bailey (Fiyero), Michelle Yeoh (Madame Morrible), Jeff Goldblum (the Wizard of Oz), Marissa Bode (Nessarose), and Ethan Slater (Boq), the first Wicked movie covered the events of Act One in the Broadway musical of the same name. Now, Wicked: For Good will explore and expand Act Two of the musical.
Good news! Fans can watch Wicked online before heading into a movie theater to see Wicked: For Good.
