Wicked: For Good, the highly-anticipated sequel to the 2024 musical film Wicked, is expected to be one of the biggest movies premiering in 2025. The upcoming film’s promotional materials are sure to grab the attention of fans of the original, eager to see what becomes of Elphaba and Glinda after the ending of the first film. As the release date of the film’s first trailer draws near, fans are left wondering when they will get their first look at the highly-anticipated sequel.
One possibility is that Universal will surprise fans by releasing the trailer online, but given the success and expense of the original film, it is likely that the studio will hold the trailer’s release until a major media event to maximize its exposure. With the Super Bowl and Academy Awards events coming up, it is possible that Universal will air the trailer during one of these events.
In a move that would mirror the original film’s marketing strategy, Universal could air the first trailer for Wicked: For Good during the Super Bowl, which has been shown to be a platform that reaches a massive audience. The Super Bowl is one of the most-watched television events of the year, making it an ideal place to market Wicked: For Good and generate buzz among fans.
While fans of the original Wicked will be eagerly awaiting the first trailer, it’s worth noting that the sequel, Wicked: For Good, will likely be a very different film from its predecessor in terms of tone, characterizations, and structure. With a new story to tell, the sequel is expected to offer a fresh take on the beloved characters and world.
With a release date of November 22, 2024, fans can expect to see the trailer debut sometime in the coming months. While there is no confirmation yet, fans are holding their breath, hoping for a surprise release of the trailer online or during a major media event.
