We're seeing more of Cynthia Erivo & Ariana Grande in new Wicked trailer
"The best way to bring folks together is to give 'em a real good enemy," the Wizard says in the trailer.
"Fellow Ozians, the Wicked Witch of the West is dead," Ariana Grande's Glinda says at the beginning of the new trailer for Wicked. "Let me tell you the whole story. Our paths did cross, at school…"
Jon M. Chu's Wicked: Part Oneis looking better and better the more we see of it, and the new trailer has us even more excited for what will probably be one of the biggest movies of the year.
The trailer leans heavily on showing how this movie gets us to the world we know and love from The Wizard of Oz. We get to see Elphaba and Glinda meet and get to know each other, we get to see Elphaba discovering her magic, and we get to see the origins of the Wicked Witch.
"The best way to bring folks together is to give 'em a real good enemy," the Wizard of Oz says ominously.
"Don't be afraid," Glinda tells Elphaba.
"It's the Wizard who should be afraid of me," she responds.
The trailer also heavily features parts of Erivo and Grande's new version of the iconic song "Defying Gravity." It's the most we've heard of this new version of the legendary Broadway track, and Grande and Erivo seem to be knocking it out of the park.
Wicked: Part One also stars Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum, Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Marissa Bode, Bowen Yang, Bronwyn James, Keala Settle, and Peter Dinklage. It will be released in theaters November 22
