The film follows the relationship between Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, and Glinda, the Good Witch of the North. The second in a two-part feature film adaptation of the Broadway musical.. Wicked was first announced in April 2022 that it would be split into two films, with creator Stephen Schwartz explaining: "The truth is we tried to make it for a while. One film (for that) required us to cut or remove things that we wanted to include, which we think fans of the show and the story would appreciate. He added "We had to do ‘Gravity Defying’ without a break. That song was written specifically for a curtain call, and any scene that followed it without a break seemed very counter-intuitive.".
