Ariana Grande Teases the Possibility of a Third “Wicked” Movie: ‘I Don’t Think Anyone’s Going Anywhere’

Might Ariana Grande have implied there are more Wicked movies to come?

The star, 32, shared a video on Instagram on Sunday, Nov. 16 that showed her and her Wicked: For Good costar Cynthia Erivo discussing the movie at a recent panel.

“You mentioned ‘farewell tour.’ If we’ve learned anything from Cher, we can count on there always being another farewell tour,” Grande joked at the start of the clip. “So I don’t think anyone’s going anywhere.”

“Was that a confirmation of Wicked 3 just now?” a moderator on the panel asked Grande; Erivo, 38, Grande, and many of the audience members in the video laughed at the question.

“No, no, I don’t know,” Grande added. “I mean, first of all, I know that there’s a great peace that’s coming along with this coming out and I think there’s a peace that’s felt, because people will finally get to know the full truth of these women.”

The actress added that she feels “really relieved people will finally get to see and know and love” her character Glinda in full when For Good, the second part of the film adaptation of the Broadway musical Wicked. 

“That feels like a big relief,” Grande said. “But first of all, no one’s going anywhere. We’re not saying goodbye to anything. These characters will be a part of our hearts always. They’ve changed our lives irrevocably and permanently, and I’m so grateful for that.” 

“It makes me really emotional — I’ll see a little kid and they’ll say, ‘Glinda!’ That’s going to be the rest of our lives,” she added. “I get choked up saying it, but I think I will miss this particular work. The work that we were able to do together was really special and really challenging in the most delicious ways.”

While Universal, the studio behind the Wicked movies, has not yet announced any future follow-ups to For Good, there are potentially more stories from the land of Oz to adapt for the big screen. L. Frank Baum, the author who originally wrote 1900’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, published 14 total books in the Oz book series in the early 20th century. (Wicked itself is based on a 1995 novel by Gregory Maguire that revises Baum’s original storylines.)

“I think on a personal level and as an artist who really loves just making things, I think that spark of connection to my craft was also pretty disconnected for a little while,” Grande said of her time making Wicked. “I think — I didn’t expect to go here tonight, I’m so sorry — but it really felt safe again to fall in love with creating and maybe I was being seen for the first time.”

“And also just being able to do it with Cynthia, who I have a lifelong sister in, was absolutely the greatest gift of my life,” she added of her friendship with Erivo. “It couldn’t have been anyone else.”

Wicked: For Good is in theaters Nov. 21.
