Jon M. Chu has some proper ploys in store for Wicked: For Good.
As a die-hard fan, I’m absolutely thrilled to spill the beans about what lies ahead for Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda in the forthcoming sequel, set to grace our screens in 2026! The director himself has given us a sneak peek into their unforgettable performances, which were captured on film earlier. Can’t wait to see it unfold!
In an exclusive interview, Jon playfully commented to TopMob News: “If film one revolves around choices, then film two revolves around the results or outcomes.
Fans won’t need to speculate about the true happiness (or lack thereof) between Ariana’s Glinda and Cynthia’s Elphaba in the upcoming sequel, as Cynthia has revealed she wrote a song for her character. However, Jon was mum on the matter of the song, instead hinting that the relationship between Glinda and Cynthia’s characters will be central to the movie.
He added, “There might be a few fresh tunes coming up.” Regarding the rumors, he remained cryptic, neither confirming nor denying them. With the growing curiosity surrounding this relationship, he’s thrilled for everyone to witness its progression. (Stay tuned to TopMob News on Jan. 7 at 11 p.m. for updates about your beloved Wicked characters and from Jon.)
Absolutely, anyone who’s a dedicated fan of the Broadway production would recognize the reference Jon was making. As he went on, he said, “It’s challenging and complicated when two characters need to navigate their journey, especially since their ultimate goals are so disparate. Yet, it can be incredibly emotional and brave for them both as they grow through this process.
Approaching the Golden Globes, where the movie received four nominations, including two acting mentions for Cynthia and Ariana, the director of Crazy Rich Asians couldn’t help but express enthusiasm over the audience’s responses to Wicked.
He expressed delight over seeing how people have been interpreting and expanding upon this film: “From attending screenings dressed up to creating original dance routines or writing new lyrics based on what they’ve independently discovered in the movie, it has been a joy to witness their creativity.
As a die-hard Wicked enthusiast, I can’t help but be captivated by the fact that it isn’t just Jon who reserves a special place for the fans. Incredibly, Cynthia actively invites us to join her in song as we watch the movie together in cinemas!
She expressed her agreement when asked about the contentious singalongs on Today in November. “We’ve been singing it for so long, now it’s others’ turn to join. It’s delightful,” she added.
With her third Golden Globe nomination now earned for her portrayal of Elphaba, Cynthia hasn’t stopped reaching new heights yet.
She expressed, soon after her nomination was announced, that it’s hard for her to put into words the significance of this moment. It’s not only due to her personal nomination, but also because she gets to witness the recognition given to her wicked movie project and the entire team associated with it.

Although 1960s Greenwich Village and Arrakis might appear unrelated at first glance, it is the open-mindedness and revolutionary spirit of 1960s America that has, in fact, paved the way for projects like these six decades later. Thank you.
The Fight Club alum also celebrated his nomination for A Complete Unknown.
