Michelle Yeoh and Jonathan Bailey absolutely serve in new look at their characters in ‘Wicked: For Good’

For those who need a brief refresher, Jonathan Bailey plays Fiyero, the charming prince and love interest to Elphaba while Michelle Yeoh plays Madame Morrible, the heistress at Shiz University who takes an interest in Elphaba’s powers. Both characters had memorable moments in the first part but it looks like they could be even more important in the second part if these promo pics are anything to go by.

Fans were very quick to begin speculating on the character looks and what it could mean for both characters going into the second part. One person wrote, ”[Bailey’s] character seems to be taking a turn to the dark side from the looks of this still.”

It’s true, his costume looks significantly different compared to the first film. Given how the last film ended we can definitely expect a serious switch up in Fiyero’s personality in the next part, the same goes for Madame Morrible.

Others on X simply praised the costumes and the actors who look pretty great in their roles, “What a stellar cast! Jonathan Bailey looks delicious as always,” a fan wrote, it’s hard to disagree, that man is perfect. Another added, “Michelle serving per usual.” One thing the film adaptation can’t be faulted for is it’s perfect casting, these actors truly shine in their roles and it’s exciting to think about seeing them return for the second part.

The rest of the ‘Wicked’ cast look great too

The pictures come from a short teaser which was released online on June 3rd. The video gives us a brief glimpse of all the main cast including Cynthis Erivo as Elphaba, Ariana Grande as Glinda, and Ethan Slater as Boq along with a handful of other very important cast .

The clip comes prior to the much anticipated first trailer which is due to be released on June 4th. As we draw closer and closer to the release of Wicked: For Good we can expect to receive more teasers and more information about the film that will no doubt get Wicked fans buzzing for the final part.

For now we’ll just have to make do with the character portraits until the trailer releases tomorrow. I don’t know about you, but I’m already pretty excited for the next film and we’ve still got five months to wait!
