Marissa Bode as Nessa in Wicked
In a recent interview with Screen Rant, Wicked actress Marissa Bode hinted at an upcoming change for Nessarose that could completely rework how she gets her Wicked Witch of the East title. In 2024's Wicked, Nessa is introduced as the younger sister of Elphaba. Although Nessa appears rather innocuous, harboring feelings for Boq while also appearing self-conscious due to her disability, Wicked: For Good will see Nessa turn into a completely new character.
The most important part of Bode's interview is that Nessa's motivations have changed. Based on the original story, Nessa takes such a firm grasp of Munchkinland as a way to assert power she's never had, but has always wanted. Yet, if what Bode is saying is true, then Nessa's intentions may be far more nefarious. Perhaps, alongside wanting power, Nessa takes out her anger on the Munchkins because of her complex relationship with Boq.
Posts 2 In the case where Nessa does become more of a villain, her Wicked: For Good story will look quite different from what is portrayed in the musical and the book. Rather than being a minor tyrant, Nessa could rise to similar ranks as Madame Morrible and the Wizard. In fact, she might even team up with them. In Wicked: For Good, Nessa might have the chance to become a much bigger and more symbolic character.
