Cynthia Erivo and Arianna Grande posing as Elphaba and Glinda in the 'Wicked' poster
Alright, Wicked fans — let’s talk about this witchy cast! With Emerald City gleaming just around the corner, Wicked is set to hit theaters on November 22, and we’re here to give you the inside scoop on who’s who in Oz. If you loved The Wonderful Wizard of Oz or the Broadway phenomenon, get ready because this two-part movie extravaganza is taking us for a ride into the origin stories of our favorite Oz icons — from the misunderstood Elphaba to the fabulously extra Galinda .
While Grande has already reached impressive career heights—including Grammy wins, chart-topping singles, and a season as a coach on The Voice—her turn as Galinda in Wicked marks a special milestone. Not only does it give her the chance to step into a childhood dream role, but it also makes her big-screen debut as a headliner.
Goldblum is a Hollywood veteran known for his roles in Jurassic Park and Independence Day. He has a natural charm that makes him a spot-on pick for Oz’s greatest “deceiver.” Bowen Yang Pfannee Bowen Yang steps in as Pfannee, one of Galinda’s snobby but lovable friends, bringing his trademark humor and sass from SNL right into the heart of Oz. Pfannee is the type who lives for drama, status, and witty put-downs —he’s basically the quintessential sidekick who loves the spotlight and is never short on attitude.
