The highly anticipated "Wicked: For Good" continues the magical journey, with Cynthia Erivo's Elphaba now in exile and dedicated to safeguarding Oz's marginalized creatures. This sequel delves deeper into her transformation into the Wicked Witch of the West as she challenges the deceptive Wizard, portrayed compellingly by Jeff Goldblum.

A highlight is Goldblum's performance in the musical number "Wonderful," which cleverly critiques manipulation and the construction of history.
The film also elegantly introduces Dorothy and other familiar characters, including Ethan Slater's Boq as the Tin Man and Colman Domingo voicing the Cowardly Lion. Despite remaining faithful to the stage musical, the adaptation offers fresh perspectives and improved elements, culminating in a cinematic experience that leaves audiences wanting more.
