As a seasoned gamer and movie enthusiast who has spent countless hours immersed in the magical worlds of both video games and cinema, I can confidently say that the upcoming two-part adaptation of Wicked is shaping up to be an unforgettable journey through Oz. The anticipation for this film has been building steadily, much like a crescendo in one of Glinda’s spellbinding spells.
Prepare to journey to Oz alongside Glinda and Elphaba as the movie adaptation of “Wicked” is set to hit theaters in 2024. This animated feature has generated a lot of buzz, but details about it have been scarce. When the trailer dropped, many fans speculated if the narrative would still be split into two films due to some discreet editing. However, the creators of the musical film have recently confirmed that they will indeed follow through with their initial plan for a two-part release.
Although “Wicked: Part One” hasn’t been released in cinemas yet, Universal Studios has already kicked off promotions for “Wicked: Part Two”. The official Twitter account for the movie shared a brief teaser featuring the “Wicked” logo with “Part Two” below it. Additionally, the graphic included the release date for this much-anticipated sequel, which is sooner than previously suggested.
Initially scheduled for Christmas Day in 2025, Part One faced numerous reshuffles in its release date, eventually landing on November 22nd, which coincides with the launch of Gladiator II. Now, it appears that Part Two is following a similar pattern. Its initial release was set for November 26th, 2025, but has since been moved up to November 21st, 2025.
There’s some confusion about the reason for delaying Part Two once more, but a possible explanation is to steer clear of clashing with Zooptopia 2 from Disney, scheduled for November 26th. This would allow the movie to have a stronger opening weekend without having to face competition from Disney. At the moment, it’s the only film planned for release on the 21st, but this is likely to change as more films are added to the 2025 schedule in the upcoming months.

Initially, director Jon M. Chu intended to divide the two-hour, forty-five-minute musical into two separate films. This decision has sparked skepticism among fans of the story. Although it can be difficult to condense the entire musical into a single movie, successful adaptations of other musicals demonstrate that it’s possible.
It has been expected that the films would adhere to the typical act structure of a Broadway musical, with each part corresponding to an act. However, this idea was challenged when the trailer for Part One revealed key scenes from the second act of the musical, leading fans to speculate if directors Chu and writers Holzman and Fox might stray from the original material and introduce unique plot points instead.
In no time, we’ll discover the answer, given that the first part of Wicked is set to premiere in cinemas on November 22nd.
