Wicked sequel gets a surprise new title after epic $500 million success of first installment


Universal's Wicked recently passed the $500 million mark at the worldwide box office , and now its sequel has a new title.

Director Jon M. Chu had always planned a two-part adaptation of the beloved Broadway musical, based on Gregory Maguire's 1995 book that showed characters from the Wizard of Oz in a whole new light. The film has caused a bit of controversy with theater chains like AMC discouraging fans from singing along to the iconic songs from the musical, the fourth-longest in Broadway history which has been running for 21 years. The cast for the sequel will also include Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Bowen Yang, Peter Dinklage, Michelle Yeoh and Jeff Goldblum.
