Wicked For Good Trailer: Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo join hands against a suppressive queen and her prince. Watch
There is magic in the air yet again as Universal Pictures has dropped the trailer for Wicked For Good, the sequel to last year's breakout hit Wicked, which made over Rs 400 crore worldwide and became the most successful musical of all time. Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are coming back to face-off against Madame Morrible, played by Michelle Yeoh and her favourite lackey prince Fiyero, portrayed by Jonathan Bailey. The makers will be hoping for a repeat of last year's performance, and the film will be trying not to crumble under the pressure of its predecessor.
The trailer opens with Erivo and Grande reuniting, as the former tells her of a battle that is coming their way. She says, 'There's no going back. This is between us, the wizard and I.' We see Galinda (Grande) don the crown as Fiyero and his troops move forward in their quest to capture the witch Elphaba (Erivo). The movie seems to go back to its root themes of ostracisation and how people often fear what they don't understand, and then they wish to destroy it. Apart from evading Fiyero and Morrible, Alphaba has a quest of her own, to bring down the Wizard of Oz (Goldbulm), in whom 'she believed in the most.'
Galinda is trying to manage her feelings for Fiyero, while trying to protect Alphaba and change her ways. Change seems to be the central point of the narrative. It seems that the prince will finally realise his true desires and act upon them, which is clear from a scene in the trailer. All lead characters will be going through some kind of change, in order to truly achieve whatever they long for, be it acceptance, friendship, peace or love.
Directed by John M. Chu, the film also features Michelle Yeoh, Jonathan Bailey, Marrisa Bode, Ethan Slater and Jeff Goldblum.

Meet man who won Rs 5 crore on KBC, then lost all his money, got addicted to alcohol, sold milk for...,he is...
Luck is one thing that can either make or break a person's life. If your luck plays along, you can become a millionaire, and if that luck doesn't work in your favor, you can lose all the money you earned in a matter of seconds. Something similar happened with KBC winner Sushil Kumar. He was the first contestant in the history of the Amitabh Bachchan-led quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) to win a whopping amount of Rs 5 crore in 2011. On his historic win, Amitabh called him the 'real-life Slumdog Millionaire.' However, little did Sushil know that his life was about to change — and not for the better. He became an example of riches to rags and lost all his money. Let's know more about Sushil Kumar. Who is Sushil Kumar? Sushil Kumar, 41, from Champaran, Bihar, appeared as a contestant on Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 5. He correctly answered the final question of the quiz show and won a whopping Rs 5 crore, becoming a crorepati overnight. When he was asked what he would do with the money, he expressed his desire to become an IAS officer. However, after his big win, Sushil vanished into thin air and no one knew what he was up to. Later in 2020, he once again surfaced on social media and left people shocked. In a social media post, he wrote, '2015-2016 was the most challenging time of my life. I was not able to understand what to do. Being a local celebrity, I used to have programs somewhere or the other in Bihar for ten to fifteen days a month. Therefore, studies gradually got sidelined. Also, at that time, I used to be very serious about the media and the media also used to ask me every few days what I was doing. For this, I used to do this business sometimes, that business sometimes without any experience so that I could tell the media that I am not useless. The result was that the business used to sink after a few days!' Not just that, he also used to sell milk to meet his daily needs. Sushil Kumar Got Scammed In a post, Sushil also revealed how he got scammed after winning Rs 5 crore. He wrote, 'After KBC, I used to participate in about 50 thousand programs in a month. Because of this, many times people have cheated me, which I came to know about later after donating.' Addiction to Cigarettes, Alcohol Sushil got addicted to cigarettes and alcohol. He also tried his luck in directing but failed. Now, as per media reports, Sushil Kumar has been appointed as a government psychology teacher and currently teaches students of Class 11 and 12.
