    That people hate on the fact that Elphaba was cast with a black actress is the epitome of irony. The entirety of the story is that she gets hate because she’s a different color. If I rolled my eyes any harder I might dislodge a ceiling tile.

      It really upsets me to see people react that way. Some of these are diehard Wicked fans who CANNOT accept any variation from the Broadway, which is frankly just sad. Especially the comments about Elphaba being played by a black actress, what an awful and disgusting opinion to have. It's just heartbreaking for me that people feel that way.

      @@revendax2584 sadly it’s not just Wicked fans. I had the unfortunate experience of stumbling across a YT video by some racist, misogynistic incel who’s clearly never even seen the show going on about them race-swapping Elphaba and how terrible having female characters in a movie is in general. It had almost 5K likes and I don’t want to humanity any more.

    It will NEVER not be wild to me that we have seen so few black women play Elphie. The analog is so clear to me, and it makes the casting of Cynthia, who was already perfect for it anyway, even sweeter. I cannot wait for the non theatre kid world to experience this magic.

    Truly a powerful message for anyone who’s been treated as “weird”, “ugly”, or “different”, especially when it comes to black women in particular. So many people don’t realize that it’s an allegory for racism and how corrupt societies will demonize POC for speaking up against them. I’m so excited…this movie was definitely needed in this era we’re in.

    I am soooo excited too!!! The only thing that has me worried is the splitting in 2 parts; my fear is that people who don't know the show will be left wanting by the first half, since so many of the emotional gut punches, plot twists and tie-ins to the Wizard of Oz happen in Act 2. I hope they found a good balance with that somehow, so that Wicked part 1 will still feel like a complete movie experience of its own.

I was a little surprised I didn't see anybody mention the racial implications of Elphaba being played by Cynthia (and young Elphaba played by Karis Musongole).

      It’s always downplayed when a black person specifically a black woman is casted. I am a black woman so I see from a black womans eyes. And Elphaba being casted in this film as a black woman amplifies the feelings of black women specifically in America. Any marginalized group can relate to Elphaba but I as a black woman relate in my own unique way.

    Im right there with you, I cried waychinh this trailer. Ive only seen Wicked once at the ASU gammage theatre snd it gave me so much LIFE! Sadly, some of the other reactions ive seen were shocking to say the least. Some reactors got real nit picky at some aspects of the trailer such as the slight change from the song popular and even more upsetting was that some people had the disgusting opinion that Elphaba shouldnt be played by a black woman, like for real? This looks AMAZING and people shouldnt get themselves all bunched up just yet. Wait until you see the movie ffs! I was initially leery about Arianna Grande playing Galinda but after seeing a small video where it showed her gettimg the call that she got the part of Galinda, she was crying and said she wanted to do the part respectfully and in a seperate segment she just emphasized how important it was for her to do the role as faithful to the source Broadway show. I feel bad because Im spacing on the original Galindas actress's name but you can clearly see how shes trying to do her best to emulate her sound. I am just beyond excited for this to come out and everything from the sets to the costumes look gorgeous. Thank you for your beautiful reaction! Much love!

    The movie seems like it's going to be a pretty good interpretation of the musical with serious nods to both Maguire's novel and the 1939 film. I think the novel (more than the musical) hits on themes of manipulating public image for power and it looks like we're definitely going to see some plot lines around that. And the art deco themes are soooo nostalgic.

    well, it's Ariana Grande that's causing this. People think Ariana is so mean and wrecked a family by pulling the husband away, but:
    1. That is not what actually happened. The man left the home. Ariana never did anything to seperate the man from the family. She even held their new baby.
    2. The information people got was not fully accurate and the website who published this fixed the article with false information. Ariana was just mentioned in the original and there was a seperate article that said the words "colleteral damage". People only pieced them together. Ariana's name was too big.
    This comment is very random but also one thing: Ariana Grande isn't the only human in this movie. People should watch this because of Cynthia's amazing voice. People just have way too many opinions. I love this movie already!

    Cynthia pushed to have hairstyles like micro braids, she knew it was an important part of her story in playing the part of Elphaba. Fun fact - the make up department on the film never created 1 big batch of green make up, so they had to make it every day. Unfortunately it was made up of so many colours, that it was never the exact same shade as the day before!

    So I am curious....as a professional makeup artist who specifically has done the makeup for Elphaba's character, what do you think of the makeup they did on her in the movie? To me, It looks SO MUCH BETTER than the ugly CGI witch face they did in Oz the Great and Powerful. Yes, she's green and she has the FABULOUS glasses, but it seems like they are still letting her expressions and emotions shine through on her face. Its not fake.

    Elphaba is green…

    Having a black woman play Elphaba is such a great choice. I'm one of the people that wanted the cast to be close to original as possible, but Elphaba's story fits as an allegory for vlack women. More than the obvious skin color is her relationship with the Wizard and Oz as a whole. She is made to be the common enemy by people in power that pretend to be compassionate. Black people are often portrayed as the enemy if you watch the news. She is seen as nothing but a convenient pawn when she wanted to save those being put down by the same system using her. My only critic of this trailer is that there are moments that feel action/adventure which really wasn't the focus of the musical. I hope they don't stray to much from the source material. Great casting though

      This is a great outlook and breakdown of the trailer! U have me thinking a whole lot deeper

    This looks good, but both female leads had a problematic past and I don't know how much people will support this.

      Very interesting POV. I’d like to think if male actors with problematic pasts can succeed that they can too. Let’s see what happens.

    That's not a black girl, it's a green girl with SOUL! Cynthia is spectacular and will kill it!

      Definitely a black girl in my eyes. I’m seeing it from my lens as an African American woman so my eyes and heart will feel something uniquely different. You will see Elphaba how you will see her and that’s the magic of story telling. It’s all up to our individual interpretation

    why play the racist card > the film is already getting called out for this very reason.

      That’s what the whole musical is about though. These conservatives criticizing the casting of Elphaba are perpetuating White victimhood. The irony is astounding when you look at the message of Wicked. This is exactly why I’m so happy Cynthia was cast. Having a black woman play Elphaba underscores Wicked’s theme of prejudice.

      I get why she feels this way. There have been less than a handful of black women cast as Elphaba on Broadway. Now, it is on the big screen and I bet, if it had been any other director- they would have cast a white woman to play Elphaba.

      Its not a racist card. Anyone can play Elphaba because she's GREEN. The reaction is because so few woc have that opportunity. Anyway, you don't see me getting upset that Fiyero is always white when he's canonical dark skinned.

      I’m sorry you feel like I played some card. I’m responding to a trailer as a black woman with my black experience. Thanks for watching

      I don’t think we can name one black woman who played Elphaba on Broadway. Please do if I made an oversight.

    I will never forget my first experience of seeing the musical and seeing all the beautiful sets and the costume designs, as well as the amazing talented cast. And I had just recently saw it again this past Christmas as I was introducing it to a family friend, so I am so hyped to see this iconic story come to the screen! And ironically the first musical I ever performed was the Wizard of Oz where I played Professor Marvel and the Wizard. 💚🖤🩷🤍
