Who’s excited for the Wicked movies?

[JustinTheGreat]

I’m so excitedddd. I loved Wizard of Oz as a kid so Wicked was the first Broadway musical that I fell in love with.
and then the movie has Arianaaa who’s my fav as well.
so I’m so ready for this damn movie lol

[Jersey2]

I really enjoy Wicked and have seen it in London and elsewhere. I do not like what Disney has done with The Little Mermaid and Snow White but this is not that. I am good with the casting. But this is my favorite cast and my favorite song from Wicked:

The real song starts at 1:06

[JustinTheGreat]

They will always be my favorite cast

Ho Hum. . . .

So we're doing ANOTHER race swap movie. . . . . With an established IP.

But there's a twist! The Wizard (A white male who was presumably straight)

was evil all along. . . .

and we're also harnessing Maleficent, so the witch was actually the good guy all along. . . . .!

I can't WAIT for this shit to be over. . .. So we can have actual creativity again.

[JustinTheGreat]

Oh boohoo. The characters skin is literally green so what does it matter if it’s played by a white or black actress? lol

[TooHot2Care]

The point isn’t that a green skinned witch is played by a black actress.

The point is : this movie won’t be good, they know it won’t be good and so what they do is update the graphics, the sound track and change the race of the lead for a “modern audience “.

Sorry, but if all you people have to offer people like me are race swapped roles? Kindly piss off.

[JustinTheGreat]

I agree that i wish they would come up with new stories that they can cast black actors for. But also casting black actors as existing characters doesn't bother me. As long as their race has nothing to do with the storyline.
Like if they casted a white woman to play Mulan for example, the story wouldn’t make sense anymore.

[KittygosMeoWW]

Not supporting this out of moral, Ariana Grande is gross and so is SpongeBob.

[JustinTheGreat]

I don’t support what they did either. But at this point, a lot of celebs are pieces of shit in their own way. So I try to separate their personal lives from their work.

[KittygosMeoWW]

K…. Still not supporting it

[JustinTheGreat]

Never said you have to lol. Just discussing

[TheSpider]

I am a huge Frank L Baum fan. I read the first one "Wicked" and I know the author never read an OZ book in his life. How in the world could you take a series of beloved children's novel and turn them into such an evil viewpoint. It makes me so sad. Think I'll go read some Baum now.

[RebelinSteel]

I’ve seen the stage show at a theatre in London and I’m going again next month in Birmingham. Will be interesting to see how the movie turns out.

[turnpost]

ehhhhh this has trash written all over it. I wish it best though.

[dolemite58]

It reminds me of the South Park about Kathleen Kennedy, all my favorite characters are being replaced by diverse women 🤣🤣

[JustinTheGreat]

Please. The race of the characters is literally irrelevant to the storyline lol. Cynthia’s character is literally green anyways…

[DizzyDesii]

Yea i thought it was decent casting

[DizzyDesii]

I wish ariana was red or brunette for this. Not feeling the blonde

[JustinTheGreat]

Glinda is always blonde in the musical so I get that but I wish they didn’t bleach her eyebrows so light

[DizzyDesii]

How did i not know she was glinda. She dont look the part at all lmao. I don't know who i thought she was

[Dongie]

Unfamiliar with them.

[JustinTheGreat]

Wicked is a Broadway musical (based on a book) that’s supposed to show the backstory of the wicked witch and Glinda from Wizard of Oz.
there's gonna be two movies. I’m pretty sure the first one is gonna be more based on the musical while the second one takes place after Dorothy arrives

[Casualke]

İ love john Wick wicked lol 😂
