Wicked | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

We have your first look at Bridgerton heartthrob Jonathan Bailey on the Wicked set!

The 35-year-old actor – who is playing the leading male role of Fiyero in the upcoming movie musical – was seen on set with Ariana Grande as Glinda in new photos that surfaced this past weekend. They were filming in Buckinghamshire, England together.

We got a few snaps of Jonathan and Ariana. Two appear to be them filming a scene, and one is between takes where the two appear to be laughing and having fun together.

If you want to see more from the Wicked set, we have your first look at Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and your first look at Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible!

The movie will be split into two parts, with the first arriving on November 27, 2024, and the second coming a year later in 2025.

Here are four actresses who auditioned for Glinda, but didn’t get the role.

We have more Wicked set photos, and our first showing Cynthia Erivo all green-ifyed to portray Elphaba!

The photos, taken on Sunday (April 30) at Hankley Common (a nature preserve in England), show Cynthia, her stunt double, and other crew members filming a flying scene on the Yellow Brick Road.

Fans of the Wicked musical might notice a few key features of these pictures.

If you’ve seen Wicked on Broadway or in regional productions around the world, you’ll know that Elphaba is first introduced to her classic “Wicked Witch” hat by Glinda (played by Ariana Grande in the film) during the song “Dancing Through Life” in Act 1.

Elphaba doesn’t fly until her show-stopping number, “Defying Gravity,” which comes at the end of Act 1 in the musical. So it would appear, since Elphaba is flying and wearing her signature hat, that they’re filming a scene well into the second act of the musical!

And if you’re craving more Wicked news, you might wanna see who else auditioned for the role of Glinda in the Wicked movies!

Videos of Ariana Grande singing on the set of the Wicked movie have leaked online and provided fans with their first listen of her Glinda vocals.

The role of Glinda is known for singing in an operatic voice as the role was originated by soprano Kristin Chenoweth on Broadway. Fans have wondered if Ariana can hit the notes and the answer is a clear YES!

The 29-year-old actress sounds incredible in the clips that have surfaced of her singing the opening number “No One Mourns the Wicked” while filming on an outdoor set in England.

People on social media have noted that Ariana sounds just like Kristin, with some wondering if she’s actually lip-syncing to KC‘s recording as they sound so alike.

Ariana Grande is playing the role of Glinda in the upcoming Wicked movies and she beat out a lot of actresses for the coveted part.

Four stars have confirmed that they auditioned to play Glinda in Wicked, though we’re pretty sure there were dozens of others who were up for the role as well.

Director Jon M. Chu just released the official first look at Ariana as Glinda and Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and we also have some amazing photos from set to share with you.

“I think one of the most overlooked facts of the #WickedMovie Casting was that EVERYONE HAD to audition. NO straight offers & they showed up! It was incredibly humbling to witness these actors spill their guts on the floor for this movie,” Jon revealed last year. “Cynthia and Ariana EARNED their roles and brought our little audition room to tears multiple times throughout the process. I can’t believe I had the privilege of witnessing the birth of their Elphaba and Galinda. And one day you will too!!”
