Wicked Movie Moves Release Date Up

Good news! The upcoming Wicked movie will now come out earlier than announced. The first Wicked film will be released on November 22, 2024, five days earlier than the previously announced November 27 release.

Earlier this year, the first full trailer was released.

As announced in 2022, the iconic musical will be split into two separate films. The Wicked movies star Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, Ariana Grande as Glinda, Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero, Marissa Bode as Nessarose, Ethan Slater as Boq, Peter Dinklage as Doctor Dillamond, Jeff Goldblum as The Wizard, and Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible. The cast also includes Bowen Yang, Keala Settle, Aaron Teoh, and Colin Michael Carmichael.

The Wicked films are directed by Jon M. Chu, who helmed the highly-acclaimed In the Heights film adaptation. Original composer Stephen Schwartz will adapt the screenplay with Winnie Holzman, who wrote the book for the musical, and producer of the musical, Marc Platt, is set to produce the film. The first part of Wicked will be released on November 22, 2024, with the second part set to be released on December 25, 2025.

Having recently celebrated its 20th anniversary on Broadway, Wicked is currently running at the Gershwin Theatre.
