The Wicked Sequel is On Its Way!
I really enjoyed the Wicked movie. I’ve always heard how great the play is but never saw it, so I was very much looking forward to a cinema adaptation. Movies are my jam, after all. And the first one was good. And now we’re going to get Wicked: For Good in a couple of months. Sounds good to me!
Looks pretty epic and full of life and character and Wizard of Oz stuff and all that goodness. Is it just a retelling of the Wizard of Oz, but from the Wicked Witch’s secret perspective? I don’t remember and I don’t know for sure. Suffice to say, this is a big trailer and this will be a big movie.
Wicked: For Good comes to theaters on Nov. 21.

Wicked: For Good is Probably Gonna Be Good
I enjoyed the first Wicked movie. I’d never seen the play, but have lived with all the hype and was looking forward to seeing an adaptation. The film was good, and I’m relatively excited for the sequel to see how it all plays out. I know some things, but not everything about how it all ends.
Solid trailer. Doesn’t tell much of the story and is mostly just glimpses of stuff, but solid glimpses of stuff. I hope Dorothy and her crew play a large part, but I suppose I don’t really know. That will be a fun, familiar angle to throw at all the characters from the first movie.
I think the title “Wicked: For Good” is a little clunky, but I guess “For Good” is the name of a popular song from the second act? And studios are so afraid to just say “Wicked 2”, even though we know it’s only going to be two parts and not a franchise. But what do I know?
Wicked: For Good comes out in November, so we got time to sit on it and think.

Wicked Trailer Gives the Whole Story Away
But, like, Wicked has been a famous stage play for a very long time now, so who is really complaining? I’ve never even seen Wicked on stage, but I’m pretty sure I know the story just from listening to the song and general online discourse. Still, consider this a warning before you watch the trailer for the upcoming Wicked movie: it gives the whole story away.
I think this movie looks neat. I’m never going to see the Broadway show of Wicked, so a movie is right up my alley. It’s supposed to be a great production, with great songs, and I think this movie — the first of two parts — should do nicely for my viewing needs. I wanna see Wicked! And on the big screen is the way I see things, so bring it on!
Wicked comes to theaters on Nov. 26.

Deadpool & Wolverine Trailer Debuts at Super Bowl
We all knew this trailer was coming. The Super Bowl is a time for many movie trailers, and we all knew that Deadpool 3 was going to be the one to watch. It’s the only Marvel Studios movie coming out this year. It might be the only movie that matters. And the trailer is pretty neat.
Considering how much leaked footage and pictures and promotional materials there have been of Wolverine, I’m surprised they didn’t show more of him in the trailer. Really, we just got a lot of Deadpool in the TVA. At least his suit looks all spiffy and new! And very red! I’ll take it!
Deadpool & Wolverine comes to theaters on July 26.
Next up is the trailer for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. And this looks damn good.
That was a great trailer! Showed a lot more of the story, but not all of it. Now we know they’re sort of doing the original movie, with the modern human on the planet. And it just looks damn cool. I’m really excited about this one.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes comes to theaters on May 10.
Thirdly, we’ve got Twisters, the random sequel.
This trailer didn’t do much for me. It’s just a bunch of tornadoes again. It was cool when the original Twister came out a million years ago, but can they still be cool? I suppose we’ll find out.
Twisters will be in theaters on July 19.
Lastly, the trailer for the first half of a Wicked two-parter.
I’ve never read the book or seen the play, but I’ve always wanted to. The trailer looks pretty crazy. That key song is in it, of course. It’s a great song. From everything I’ve read, splitting Wicked into two movies is probably a good idea. So I’m for sure excited about seeing this one and finally seeing what all of the fuss is about.
Wicked comes to theaters around Thanksgiving.
