Wicked is a prequel to The Wizard of Oz that follows Elphaba (the Wicked Witch of the West) and her relationship with Glinda. The musical, written by Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman, has been adapted for film, with Marc Platt, the original Broadway producer, involved.

Director Jon M. Chu has announced that the story will be divided into two films to preserve the original material's integrity. This decision allows for a more in-depth exploration of the musical's themes and characters.

The first part of Wicked is set to hit theaters on November 22, with Bailey's portrayal of Fiyero expected to play an important role in the film's plot.
