Now let’s get into the funny details! In the newly released trailer, Eagle Eyed fans can see …
- “No one mourns the wicked”
This trailer opens with Grande-as-glinda that offers the same question as begun Evil In the first song: “Are people born wickedly? Or did they drive wickedness upon them?” As she speaks, a well -known chorus also sounds: The opening notes of “no one mourn the wicked”, isolated and haunting.

- Prince Fiyero
As the Evil Films are divided into two parts, there will be significantly more screen time to fill, providing enough time to delve deeper into the rear stories Gregory Maguire In its original Evil Romans. This trailer gives us evidence that one such back story is coming to the screen: Fiyero is the heir to a royal dynasty. In the musical, this prince status is only emerged by Glinda during a transitional scene, but during the entrance of Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero at 0:24, a Cavalcade from Shiz students can be seen that he is looking forward with a headline that declares Prince Fiyero entry at Shiz ‘

- “Popular”
The second song that was also heard with Grande is ‘popular’, which can be heard in the background at 0:30, while Elphaba and Glinda move to their dormitory at Shiz University, along with a few other Glinda footage exploring her new digging on the most theater way -the high kick.

- “What is this feeling”
It seems likely that the final sequence of the song “What is this feeling” is at full at 0:47, with Elphaba anxious Glinda in a yellow. Unlike the Broadway performance, which surprised Elphaba from behind, the film shows that Elphaba jumps from behind a closed door.

- Doctor dillamond
At 0:50 this trailer is the first time Peter Dinklage (kind) is seen as Dr. Dillamond, Elphaba’s kind -hearted mentor who warns her that “something bad is happening in Oz.” Thinklage is not prosthetics As she raises festive. Instead, he gives the voice for the Bok professor, now a CGI-speaking goat instead of a Bokman as depicted on stage.

- “Ballgo!”
Another fan-favorite scene can be seen at 0:52, while Dillamond explains the state OZ. Glinda, dressed in a dramatic pink robe, tries to magic a Balgown for Elphaba while trying to make her magic function.

- Nessarosis
In another transitional sequence at 1:06, we get our first look at Marissa Bode as Nessarosis, who lifts in the air while Elphaba struggles to control her telecinetic forces. In the Broadway performance, the wheels of the wheelchair never leave the ground. It seems Chu really believes that eachOne deserves a chance to fly!

- Elphaba’s iconic hat
While the ‘nobody mourns the wicked’ reflects at 1:25 again, we get our first look at Bowen Yang and Bronwyn James as the Shiz friends of Glinda Pfannee and Shenshen as they pulled to be Elphaba’s iconic hat out of his box. The hat of the film has a new shape, with a more snake point and structural ridges, as well as a skewed point. - “Defense of Gravity”
The opening withheld from EvilThe famous act One final song sounds about footage of the Ozdust Ballroom at 1:43, while Fiyero and Glinda can be heard to deliver dialogue from the musical before Glinda and Elphaba’s embrace. The orchestral support of the chorus continues through Glinda and Elphaba’s journey to the Emerald City.

- Look
If you look very carefully at the initial Ozdust Ballroom scene, you can see Ethan Slater as Boq standing behind Nessarose, his arms crossed in outrage before moving out of the way to allow nessarosis to cast herself away. Slater’s Boq proved one of the more elusive figures out of the upcoming film, with this sneak watching our first big look at the SpongeBob Squarepants Star in the film.

- The flying monkeys
The flying monkeys are seen by this trailer in various ways, but one important detail is displayed on Elphaba’s arrival to the Emerald City to first meet with the wizard. In Evilthe monkeys are originally servants of the wizard, who were later freed by Elphaba (with some who prefer to keep their own free will and help her). You can see the legions of monkeys, the flying game of the pre-Olphaba, which is submissive, when Elphaba and Glinda first entered the wizard’s room at about 2:16 p.m.

- Does it make blue? No, make it pink!
When Evil They first got on stage, they had to carefully make sure all their visual language could only be traced to the original L. Frank Baum books, rather than the film of 1939 The Wizard of Oz. One of these changes was Glinda’s Munchkinland dress and bubble. When carried by Billie Burke In the 1939 film, both were a fetching shadow of Bubblegum Pink, but on stage the color was exchanged for an airy air blue. As this film is produced by the company that owns the copyright of the 1939 film, Glinda is back in her pink colors, with grande with a greedy rose dress in her iridescent pink bubble at 2:35.

- Hot hot air balloon
At 2:52, Glinda and Elphaba can be seen to escape the wizard’s tower in a hot hot air balloon that is very well the same balloon as Dorothy Gale intended to use as transport to Kansas, although the balloon can be in such a way that we cannot see the emblem on the side. We may have to wait until 2025’s part two version for the answer to this one.

- Young Elphaba
It looks like Elphaba’s back story will be expanded in the upcoming film, with the trailer giving us a short look at a much younger Elphaba, played by Karis Musongols, at 3:10, showing her when she is ridiculous by the Munchkins that reigns her father.

- A very special flower
While Elphaba thinks about her life before she makes the choice to divide the wizard (in the process to become a refugee), she flashes through numerous moments, including one of the most important binding series between her and Glinda: the famous “toss toss” scene where Glinda tries to learn Elphaba how to be popular. Elphaba and Glinda can look at each other in the mirror at 3:14, with Glinda’s pink rose stuck behind Elphaba’s ear to ‘popular’ lesson. That memory clashes, she grabs her broom and flies into the air and begins the final battle cry of ‘Defying Gravity’ and the title card of the trailer.
