Wicked: For Good seemingly ends with the perfect segue for a third movie, but nothing has yet been confirmed about another movie happening as of now.
Wicked and Wicked: For Good were directly adapted from the Broadway musical and it’s unclear where a third movie might go if one were to be made. “Wicked” author Gregory Maguire has written several sequels, so they could potentially pull from there, or go in an entirely different direction.
Wicked composer Stephen Schwartz is opening up about his ideas for a third movie, which he says he’s already discussing with screenwriter Winnie Holzman.

“If there were a right idea, but I’m just not sure that that right idea exists,” Schwartz told The Ankler. “What I will tell you without giving away too much is that Winnie Holzman (the original Wicked book writer and film’s co-screenwriter) and I are doing some work right now on ideas that aren’t a sequel to Wicked, because I think the Glinda and Elphaba story feels complete — but there are other aspects that could be explored. Gregory Maguire, the original Wicked novelist, has several books, for example. But there’s another idea that Winnie and I are discussing: not a sequel, but an adjunct. Let me put it that way.”
So, it sounds like we won’t see Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo back as Glinda and Elphaba, but we might get to see more of Oz.
He added, “If someone could think of a continuation of the story that seemed to have a justification beyond simply making money, of course. As far as right now, no one has yet presented an idea that I’ve heard that would justify such a thing.”
