Universal Pictures has released the official trailer for 'Wicked: For Good,' offering audiences their first look at the highly anticipated final chapter of the 'Wicked' film series. The movie is scheduled to premiere in Philippine cinemas on November 19.
Starring Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda, the film continues the untold story of the witches of Oz. It follows the events of 2024's 'Wicked,' which became the most successful Broadway musical adaptation in cinematic history, grossing $750 million worldwide and earning 10 Academy Award nominations.
Directed by Jon M. Chu, who returns after helming the first installment, 'Wicked: For Good' opens with Elphaba and Glinda estranged, facing the political and personal fallout of their choices. The film promises an emotional and visually spectacular conclusion to the journey that began on the Broadway stage and captured global audiences on screen.
'And now whatever way our stories end, I know you have rewritten mine by being my friend,' the trailer quotes.
The screenplay was written by Winnie Holzman and Dana Fox, based on the Broadway musical's book and Gregory Maguire's bestselling novel. The musical score features work by Stephen Schwartz, with additional composition by John Powell.
The first 'Wicked' film earned Oscars for Best Costume Design and Best Production Design and drew praise for its performances, musical adaptation, and visual style.

Soudade Kaadan and Elia Suleiman invited to join Academy behind the Oscars
Syrian filmmaker Soudade Kaadan and Palestinian director Elia Suleiman are among the Middle East figures who have been invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the organisation behind the Oscars. Kaadan is best known for Nezouh, a surreal coming-of-age story set in war-torn Damascus, which won the Armani Beauty Audience Award at the 2022 Venice Film Festival. Her 2018 film, The Day I Lost My Shadow, was also awarded at Venice and became the first Syrian film to screen at the festival in decades. Suleiman, meanwhile, is a seminal figure in Arab cinema, known for works like Divine Intervention and It Must Be Heaven, which explore themes of Palestinian identity and struggle under Israeli occupation through satire and deadpan humour. Kaadan and Suleiman's inclusion comes as part of the Academy's latest round of membership invitations, extended to 534 figures from across filmmaking disciplines. Prominent international names includes Ariana Grande, Dave Bautista, Mikey Madison, Kieran Culkin and Jason Momoa. Those who accept the invitation become voting members of the Academy, with the power to help shape Oscars nominations and winners. They're also eligible to join one of its 18 branches, from directing and writing, to documentary and editing. More than half of those invited come from countries and territories outside the US, in what appears to be a bid to diversify the voting ranks of the Oscars. The Academy, which has more than 10,000 members, has long faced criticism for its lack of representation, particularly in terms of race, gender and geography. The #OscarsSoWhite backlash of 2015 and 2016 sparked a reckoning within the institution, spurring an initiative to broaden its membership and better reflect the global community. 'We are thrilled to invite this esteemed class of artists, technologists, and professionals to join the Academy,' said Bill Kramer and Janet Yang, the Academy's chief executive and president respectively. 'Through their commitment to filmmaking and to the greater movie industry, these exceptionally talented individuals have made indelible contributions to our global filmmaking community.' There is a marked presence of Arab and Middle Eastern talent in the wave of membership. These include several Palestinian talents, such as Mediterranean Fever director Maha Haj, Wedding in Galilee director Michel Khleifi, Another Body editor Rabab Haj Yahya as well as Hamdan Ballal and Basel Adra, recognised for co-directing No Other Land, which won the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature this year. The documentary follows the struggles faced by Palestinian journalist Basel Adra as he tries to protect his West Bank village Masafer Yatta from Israeli settlers. Asmae El Moudir was also invited to join the Academy. The Moroccan filmmaker is known for her documentary The Mother of All Lies, the country's submission for best international feature film at the 2024 Oscars. The growing presence of Arab filmmakers in the Academy is an uplifting shift in an organisation that has long focused on Hollywood. Their inclusion brings regional narratives into global focus, while also empowering filmmakers from across the region to shape how cinema is perceived in the industry's most influential stage.

How Bahrain's Ali Daylami became first person from Gulf to win a Tony Award
In an industry shaped by familiar choruses and blockbuster adaptations, news that an original musical about two star-crossed robots had won Broadway 's top prize made an impact from Manhattan to Manama. With it, Ali Daylami became the first Bahraini, and person from the Gulf overall, to receive a Tony Award as part of the team that produces Maybe Happy Ending, which won Best Musical earlier this month. It is a personal achievement, but also offers a path forward for a region more accustomed to experiencing drama from the seats. 'I'm definitely energised and inspired to keep going, to find new pieces and work that speak to me and hopefully resonates with people in the same way this show did.' Daylami tells The National from New York. 'But I would love nothing more than to bring that energy back home to the Mena region. Not just as a show, but as something that's built for us, by us.' Daylami is keenly aware his achievement represents something larger than a testament to personal perseverance. While producers and impresarios emerge from the US, Europe and increasingly Asia, Arab voices in the industry remain rare. That road to a Tony Award is arduous not because of a lack of talent, he notes, but due to the absence of supporting infrastructure. 'We are sorted when it comes to the infrastructure, as we can see with places like Dubai Opera and the Royal Opera House Muscat,' he says. 'While we know how to build the spaces, what is needed are places to develop local talent, like academies and conservatories that train performers, artists and artisans. That is beginning to happen now with places like the Sharjah Performing Arts Academy.' Dynamic content is also needed, Daylami adds, to widen the palette of regional audiences raised on familiar material. 'How many times can someone see Phantom of the Opera or Hamilton? A content strategy is also needed that appeals to artists who want to make the work, and to audiences who want to see it again.' Daylami's own foray to the stage began as an audience member in Dubai Opera. 'It all started for me when Les Miserables premiere at the Dubai Opera,' he says, referring to the 2016 Cameron Mackintosh production. 'That was a bespoke Dubai production with a western cast. And I said to myself, this is happening here now. I got to be part of it.' The experience crystallised the need to remove himself from his job at an advertising firm in Bahrain to study theatre management and producing at New York's Columbia University. 'I needed to have theatre credits to apply confidently for the programme,' he recalls. 'That was the challenge. So I said to myself that I have got to start somewhere.' That beginning was a local production of Piaf, a play by British playwright Pam Gems about the life of French singer and Second World War dissident Edith Piaf. Premiering at the Manama Theatre Club in 2019 and featuring a cast made up almost entirely of artists living in the kingdom, Daylami says its relative success revealed an important lesson he later carried with him to Broadway. 'The shows that work are the ones you can scale down – something you could do in a car park, a garage, a park or even a living room – and still carry that spirit, intimacy and ability to reach people on a personal level,' he says. ' Piaf was assembled locally in Bahrain with a fantastic team and amazing local talent and it remains one of my favourite experiences.' Following a stint as a creative consultant during preparations for the musical, Umm Kulthum: The Golden Era, ahead of its West End premiere at the London Palladium in 2020, Daylami had gained enough experience to join what he recalls as one of only two Arab students in Columbia University's theatre management programme. It was in New York amid the cut and thrust of the industry that he worked on as many jobs as he could, landing production stints on the blockbuster Wicked and the jukebox musical The Heart of Rock'n'Roll. While describing those experiences as useful CV-building exercises, Daylami became aware of an off-Broadway English adaptation of the Korean musical Maybe Happy Ending, which already proven to be a hit in its home country. 'My area of study at Columbia gave me a strong interest in what was happening internationally as well as on Broadway and in the West End, so I was always tracking what was going on globally,' he says. 'So with Maybe Happy Ending, I knew it had an amazing reputation overseas.' Admiring the show from the stands is one thing. Being part of the team that brought it to Broadway defied some industry conventions. Maybe Happy Ending is not a recognisable brand based on popular source material or a historical backdrop. And the story itself, a tender tale of two outdated helper robots in Seoul, is a difficult marketing pitch. Daylami says the decision to back it was not shaped by university coursework or commercial trends. It was pure instinct. 'It was the music. It was absolutely divine,' he says. 'It is optimistic, heartbreaking and honest. It reminded me why we go to the theatre in the first place.' After an admittedly slow start since premiering on Broadway last year, the risk began to pay off. 'Our show came in with a lot of scepticism, but people fully embraced it,' he says. 'I think this is a great statement for the industry to reward itself for taking a huge gamble and supporting great art and supporting new writers and new composers and new theatre makers.' Now with a Tony Award to his name and the production continuing to pack in audiences at New York's Belasco Theatre, Daylami is already looking for another hidden gem to bring back to the Gulf. 'I would love to move away from the touring model,' he says. 'I would love to create something that is more bespoke for the region. Something that speaks to the local audiences. Something that appeals to their own histories, their own passions and their own experiences.'
