Through Twitter, Jon M. Chu expressed his enthusiasm for making this film. Two main stars: Erivo and Grande inspired him to present the film Wicked.
I was changed for good by these two women... #CynthiaErivo & #ArianaGrande as Oz Magician. They will lift your spirits, break your heart and make you speechless with their voices," he continued.
"Very excited to introduce you to our world... Many will come," Chu said.
Cynthia Erivo was seen wearing a witch costume and looking back, as was Ariana Grande who climbed a ladder in a pink dress.
In addition to the two, this film also stars Bowen Yang, Keala Settle, Marissa Bode, Brownwyn James, Michelle Yeoh, Ethan Slater and Jonathan Bailey. Jon M. Chu also revealed that the story will be divided into two since the production was announced.
"When we tried to cut the song or reduce the character, the decision was fatal to the source of the material that entertained us over the years. So we decided to give a bigger canvas and not just make one Wicked film but two!" wrote Jon M. Chu.
"With a larger distance, we can tell Wicked as it should be with the deepening and surprise of the journey of this character," he said again.
Wicked will be released on November 27, 2024.
