EXCLUSIVE: Ariana Grande breaks down Glinda–Elphaba bond in Wicked: For Good; reveals intention behind her character’s final gesture in sequel
WICKED: FOR GOOD is the story of two friends. Five years after the events of the first part, Elphaba Thropp (Cynthia Erivo), now known as the Wicked Witch of the West, continues to fight for animal rights and save them from exploitation. Glinda (Ariana Grande) has been assigned by the... Wonderful Wizard of Oz (Jeff Goldblum) and Madame Morrible (Michelle Yeoh) to spread positivity and goodness as the administration spreads lies that Elphaba is trying to destroy Oz. Fiyero (Jonathan Bailey) is now the Captain of the Gale Force and is assigned the duty of hunting down Elphaba. Unknown to Madame Morrible and the Wizard, Glinda and Fiyero are sympathetic to Elphaba. Elphaba's father passes away and her sister Nessarose (Marissa Bode) is now the governor of Munchkinland. She, too, loves Elphaba but has no qualms in taking harsh decisions against her sister, so that no one assumes that she's sympathetic to her. Elphaba tries to help Nessarose but ends up putting her and her partner, Boq (Ethan Slater), into trouble. The animals, for whom she's fighting, also decide to leave Oz after they learn that it was she who gave wings to the monkeys in the Wizard Palace. Elphaba decides to head to the Emerald City and that too on the day Glinda is getting engaged to Fiyero. What happens next forms the rest of the film.
