Details about Wicked: For Good remain scarce. The movie continues the story from the first installment, which has already won over audiences. Chu’s direction and the performances of Grande and Erivo have set high expectations.

Adding a fresh face like this actress could bring new energy to the sequel. For now, though, it’s all just talk—no official word has come from the studio.

I think this actress would be a great fit for Dorothy. Her excitement shows she’s passionate about the story and respects the team behind it. That kind of energy could shine on screen. Still, it’s early days, and rumors don’t always turn into reality.
