We’ve patiently waited for more details about Jon M. Chu’s big-screen adaptation of Wicked, and finally, we’ve been blessed with a full-length trailer.
As you might expect, the vocals are live, the green and pink aesthetics are on point (a classic color scheme for a reason!), and the whole thing already feels generally insane. Watch the trailer for yourself below, then check out the billions (OK, fine, not literal billions) of thoughts I had while watching it:
- HAT!
- Has a witch hat ever served so hard? (Yes, this is purposeful J.K. Rowling erasure.)
- Ariana is obviously killing it from her first notes, but TBH, hearing anyone but Kristin Chenoweth sing “Popular” will always hurt me a little.
- She’s just so funny delivering her rendition!
- Here, watch it for yourself.
- Okay, back to the musical-theater matter at hand.
- Why are these two adult teachers sharing a room?
- Is there legit not another room avail in this castle?
- Goat!
- Okay, I’m just yelling stuff I see.
- Ariana is obviously the most fashion-y in this movie, but Cynthia Erivo is really managing to slay through her green makeup, and I think that deserves commendation.
- I honestly thought the friendly looking white man I just saw onscreen was John Mulaney, but I think it was a different one.
- I mean, we’d know if Mulaney was in Wicked, right? He does have an Broadway background…
- I’m still so confused about the role of the hat.
- Hm, not sure about the film’s interpretation of Oz.
- I just want to live inside Glinda’s pink soap bubble, TBH.
- I need to start saying “You have no real power” to people.
- Should I get a green-and-pink manicure for the release of this movie? Probably, right?
