      I for one welcome our new wicked cinematic universe.

      Six movies to rule them all!.. to start with!

        Gregory Maguire’s “The Wicked Years” currently consists of like… eight or nine books I think? But seriously, if they try to turn each of them into a movie or worse, multiple movies, I really don’t know how to deal with that.

      Well, the whole plot twist of Wicked is that

      Tap for spoiler

      Elphaba has faked her death. She used the misconception that water could melt her to trick Dorothy into trying just that and fled through a hidden trapdoor, leaving only her hat behind.

      Not saying they should make more movies but at least the plot would make more sense than the Palpatine shitshow.

    They should make a prequel movie, a novel, and a broadway musical as well.

    … oh wait.

      And a sequel to the prequel that plays before the current movie… you could even call it… the pre-sequel!

      And then the Wizard of Oz can be the new Avengers villain!

    Wouldn’t the sequel just be the Wizard of Oz?

    Not sure Cynthia Erivo’s or Ariana Grande’s mental state could survive a third+ film.

    Mmm, feel that creativity. There’s money to be made so sequels need to be “figured out”. Or you could just make films when you have stories to tell?

    No? Well I guess that’s why I don’t have a private jet.

      C’mon…! You’re trying to tell me the whole reason that Tolkien wrote The Hobbit wasn’t to jumpstart the Middle Earth Extended Universe?!?1?

      P’shaw! I say!

    Movie makes money, owners receiving profit swear they will seek more money with more products!

    Hopefully it’s at least good. My wife will drag me to see this eventually.

    Awesome!

    Wicked is the best Wizard Oz product since the 1939 sequel.

    I adore The Wiz but it does have its warts.
