In a recent interview, director Jon M Chu opened up about adding a scene for the movie that involved Young Glinda.
“We had that scene in the script and I knew we should have kept it, but we didn’t shoot it at the time because we had a lot of other pressures,” he told Deadline of adding it back when they returned for some reshoots back in March.
He also shared that he and producer Marc Platt “always said’ if we need it, we’ll go get it.’”
Also pictured here in the gallery are first look photos from the upcoming NBC special, Wicked: One Wonderful Night, which will see Cynthia and Ariana performing, along with co-stars Marissa Bode, Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum, Ethan Slater and Bowen Yang.
In the special, they stars will perform songs from the first movie and a little tease of the upcoming second. The special will premiere on Thursday, November 6th at 8pm ET/PT on NBC, and streaming next day on Peacock.
