National,
13th
November,
2025:
Universal
Pictures
India
(distributed
by
Warner
Bros.
Discovery)
invites
audiences
to
journey
back
to
the
Land
of
Oz
with
Wicked:
For
Good,
arriving
in
theatres
on
November
21,
2025.
Starring
Ariana
Grande,
Cynthia
Erivo,
and
Jonathan
Bailey,
this
all-new
chapter
follows
the
legacy
of
2024’s
Wicked

weaving
a
powerful
new
tale
of
magic,
friendship,
and
love.

In
Wicked:
For
Good,
Glinda
stands
at
the
center
of
Oz’s
fragile
new
order.
Elevated
as
the
people’s
radiant
figure
of
hope,
she
bears
the
immense
weight
of
adoration
while
privately
confronting
the
loneliness
of
leadership.
After
her
once-unbreakable
friendship
with
Elphaba
fractures
under
the
strain
of
divided
loyalties,
Glinda
must
navigate
a
world
where
perfection
is
expected
and
authenticity
is
questioned.
As
she
struggles
to
uphold
her
image
as
“Glinda
the
Good,”
she
begins
to
wonder
what
goodness
truly
means
in
a
land
where
truth
is
often
silenced
by
propaganda
and
fear.

For
Ariana
Grande,
Wicked
For
Good
presented
an
extraordinary
opportunity
to
explore
Glinda’s
evolution

from
the
enthusiastic
student
audiences
met
in
Wicked
to
the
complex,
conflicted
leader
she
becomes.
“One
of
my
favorite
things
about
Glinda
is
following
her
growth
from
the
beginning
of
Wicked
to
the
end
of
Wicked:
For
Good,”
Grande
says.
The
two-film
journey
allowed
Grande
to
trace
the
full
emotional
arc
of
a
character
whose
light
and
depth
have
come
to
define
one
of
her
most
powerful
performances
yet.
“She
spends
the
entire
story
searching
for
the
true
meaning
of
goodness,
and
that
definition
changes
for
her
many
times,
as
each
traumatic
event
takes
place,
and
there
are
many
that
she
experiences,
they
propel
her
towards
the
truth.
Her
emotional
arc
is
my
favorite
thing
about
her,”
Grande
continues.

“At
the
start
of
the
film,
Glinda
is
the
kind
of
leader
The
Wizard
wants
her
to
be
and
the
kind
the
people
of
Oz
expect,”
Producer
Marc
Platt
reflects
on
Glinda’s
journey,
and
the
film’s
deeper
themes
of
image,
integrity,
and
identity.
_”She
is
lovely,
charming
and
generous,
but
it
is
a
hollow
kind
of
leadership.
Only
the
audience
sees
her
private
moments,
where
she
begins
to
question
who
she
truly
is.
Through
that
struggle,
her
humanity
resurfaces,
and
she
becomes
the
leader
she
was
meant
to
be,
one
guided
by
compassion
and
conviction
rather
than
image
or
expectation.”
Platt
observes.

Through
music
that
stirs
the
soul
and
visuals
that
enchant
the
eye,
Wicked:
For
Good
explores
the
question:
what
does
it
mean
to
be
“good”
when
perfection
is
the
only
expectation?

Friendship,
magic,
redemption

dive
back
into
Oz
on
21st
November,
2025!
