It's Finally HERE!! - Wicked Official Trailer Reaction

[@revendax2584]

Honestly, I was skeptical of Arianna Grande too but after seeing an interview clip that showed her clip of getting the call to be Galinda she was crying and saying "I promise to take good care of her" (the character role). Along with the fact that she said she's been waiting 10 years for auditions and how she said it was very important that she played the role correctly and that she did her best to emulate Kristin while acting the role I feel a bit more confident in her playing the role. Especially with just how little we've seen from the trailer, I think she will do an amazing job!

[@PaganReacts]

Me too! This trailer changed my mind

[@maureenseel118]

And she has loved this role since she was a child-I'm excited for her and it looks like she did the role justice.

[@phoenixwing5133]

Just went and saw it last night, she was absolutely spectacular. That was the best musical to film adaptation I've ever seen, coming from someone who's seen the live musical before.

[@tylernerchacha3452]

I think that shows us that 3 minutes of a trailer is a drop of water in the bucket for the movie! There’s so much left for us to eat up!

[@zachcomia7809]

Exactly the people complaining that they showed too much don’t make sense. They barely showed any of the musical numbers!

[@SendInTheClowns-GG]

They've also added parts of the original books, so there is more story to tell and other characters have a chance of getting their story told too.

[@markm9282]

Num num num num!!! 😂❤...agreed!

[@alakega]

Galinda is in the best hands. If Kristin has wholeheartedly approved and given her blessing to Ariana, there's not a doubt in my mind she will do the role justice! 💖💚

[@CeltycSparrow]

And have the original ladies given their approval and blessing to these actresses who are portraying these infamous witches?

[@egui8677]

@@CeltycSparrowlol watch Kristen’s interview with Kelly Clarkson and check by yourself.

Before Ariana Grande became a singer she was a actress on Nickelodeon. Before that she was on 13 the musical on broadway. She said that she went to see the original cast of wicked and because of that it inspired her to get into singing and broadway. I have never seen Wicked, only the 1939 Wizards of Oz movie. Because of that I can’t say if it will be good but by what I heard. I think she will be great. Very excited for this film

[@vampirehours]

I think the trailer is long so that they can help show people that the movie plot is more about a relationship/friendship and that there is a different story, rather than just a Wicked Witch movie (for the people who know nothing about the musical, only what they know about "The Wizard of Oz"). I've seen several non-Wicked reaction folks who were very pleasantly surprised that it wasn't what they thought it would be about and that they were now interested in seeing it.

[@justinswag3403]

I feel like it’s also this long to resolve bunch of suspicions long time lovers had. Looks like they are sticking to a faithful adaptation and I am seated for it 🎉

[@Paula2128]

I think another reason is because they obviously spent a lot of money on this project and they need to reach beyond the musical lovers. So they make this beautifull trailer to show it´s not just another musical, it´s a blockbuster, and they don´t overwhelm them with too much music on the trailer.

[@justinswag3403]

@@Paula2128 Great point

[@sheascott8818]

Cynthia and Ariana are amazing together! They truly bonded while they were filming this! I’ve seen Wicked on Broadway with the original cast and two other times on Broadway! I’ve also seen the traveling show in Denver two times as well and it never gets old! I’ve never been more excited to watch a movie EVER! I balled like a baby when I first watched it ❤

[@avyboi14]

It’s crazy to me how much hate the casting of Ariana as Glinda has been getting as if she isn’t a broadway girl. It’s mind blowing. She’s perfect for this. I’m so excited!!

[@Suchaval]

Right? People are so annoying for this, it kinda looks like everyone is repeating the same stuff about Ariana just bcuz they read some people dragging her and start to do the same

[@Veronica.1371]

November is to long to wait for this!!! CAN'T WAIT

[@PaganReacts]

Me too!

[@MariaStar64]

Ariana is PERFECT for Glinda. She was born for this role I will so be seated when the movie comes out! And I'll be buying all the merch! 😍

[@stephaniejudge8349]

💚💕 Aww thank you for the shoutout girlie! Ah had chills too! So freaking excited! This visually looks well done. Can’t wait to see how the writing unfolds with the film being in two parts. Love all the practical effects that were seen in the trailer. Haha the trailer was definitely long lol but it made up for the 10+ years I’ve been waiting for this movie to come 😅😂

[@PaganReacts]

❤️❤️❤️ can’t wait to see this film and nerd out with you!

[@CasualNerdReactions]

I watched far too many of these trailer reactions, but yours is one of the best!

[@PaganReacts]

Thank you!

[@iainmelville9411]

I have been waiting for Wicked. Now , I’m totally on board. It looks great. Thanks for that Pagan. Blessings,❤.

[@albertomoreno2415]

I knew you would change your mind after Ariana’s funny line. So sad you stopped it before but I was happy at the end ❤😂

[@Mtrevin]

ARIANA WAS MADE FOR THAT ROLE! 🌸 movie of the YEAR! 🩷🫧💚 give them all their OSCAR RIGHT NOW! 🫶🏼✨

[@zachcomia7809]

I AM SO EXCITED

[@joshuacoldwater]

This isn’t even close to the whole movie, and it’s not just one film- it’s two. Wicked premieres this Thanksgiving. Wicked Part 2, premieres next Thanksgiving. The story has been built and expanded on by the ORIGINAL writing team and the ORIGINAL composer. All of the original tracks are included and I know he added at least 2 new tracks to the 2nd film. He may have added more. The story was worked on and expanded by the director and the author of the book, they made it flow easier on film, and fixed tiny things in the second act. Both films were filmed together with a joint budget of 320 Million Dollars. Realism was EXTREMELY important, these were some of the LARGEST SETS ever built. The University, The Waterway, The Train Station, THE TRAIN, The Emerald City, The field of 9 million tulips, Munchkinland, and all of the indoor locations within these sets were all VERY, VERY REAL. 92% of the stunts and trickery were also done with PRACTICAL EFFECTS as well. This trailer includes the ONE TIME, that elphaba flies and it is all digital. By wrap her nickname was “parkour elphie”. Items and people were flying in the air, it was magical.

[@PaganReacts]

Ok WHAT?! I had no idea this is going to be 2 films 🤣 incredible!

[@SeekersLegacy]

@@PaganReacts The only problem with it being two films is, it’s a year long wait for part 2. Thanksgiving 2025. That’s why only stuff from the first half of the show was shown in this trailer. The first movie is ending at the intermission of the show “Defying Gravity”.

[@dh9892x]

Y’all be forgetting Ariana is a theatre kid! I know her pop sound is so different but when it comes to doing musical theatre my baby got it in the bag😭

[@RustyRagesRegularly]

Here’s the thing about the 3 minute trailer. It shows a bit but it also shows really nothing if you think about it. This movie is 3 hours long so yeah 3 mins is a drop in the bucket to what we are gonna get. I think you should watch the second trailer that came out about a month ago. It doesn’t give anything more away to the point it reuses a lot of the footage from this trailer.

[@funkmonkpunk]

The love triangle is more of part two. This is a part one trailer :)

[@AnnaAnna-uc2ff]

Thanks.

[@darrenknowles842]

aaaaaaaand the movie is brilliant!

[@PaganReacts]

Still haven’t seen it yet! Can’t wait!

[@jteternal2]

i herd they are going to break it into 2 movies which i don't really understand the musical is pretty short.

[@eternalbliss330]

the musical being short is the reason the second act is so underdeveloped. splitting into two is a good idea if they want the story fully fleshed out.

[@ericgaudet5488]

Pagan great job with your reaction to the Trailer for Wicked .we you see the full Film you have to do a comparison to the Play. I think l know were that Hat came from Oz or I'm way off .

[@PaganReacts]

🥰

[@AnthonyChobotdoespopcult-jz7jr]

Just subbed to your channel

[@PaganReacts]

Thanks! Welcome!

[@J.P.Robles]

Everything looks amazing but what I am worried about is the pacing of this movie The thing is if everything is amazing but the movie is rushed or drawn out then that is what people are going to be criticizing I hope that this movie has good pacing

[@a_waff1es_0pinion76]

Movie will end with define gravity, and there adding parts from the book the musical left out. So I think the pacing will be good

[@J.P.Robles]

@@a_waff1es_0pinion76 we also don’t know what the duration of the movie That will also determine the pacing The movie will be amazing but these are things to consider

[@LongNguyen-wo9vd]

please react to the Powerful Bond of Friendship 🫧🩷💚🧹🥹

[@artloveranimation]

I hate the people EVERY film studio has been hiring AND GIVING FOOTAGE to, to make trailers. Keep the trailer length, sure, but use longer scenes than just little flashes of seconds. Stick with the act 1 stuff, tease act 2 and don't touch act 3. I can always tell when it's act 3 final moment stuff

[@joshuaadams7356]

We are waiting for your review or defying gravity and popular and no one mourns the wicked.!!!! Please🥺

[@PaganReacts]

Will let you know when I get to see the movie

[@megan1362]

I’m going to be so annoying about this movie 😌 I NEED them to give me Johnathan Bailey singing dancing through life

[@PaganReacts]

FACTS

[@monkat3759]

Watch the old video of her spitting on donuts at drunken(?) And you'd buy the mean girl vibes but she's grown and come into herself especially how she handled the concert incident throughout and after. It looks good. In it for the Yeoh.

[@bullsharkTM]

haha the donut incident! almost forgot about that

[@eddies.9644]

The love story does not really involve Fiyero but Elphaba and Glinda. Their love for each other as friends goes beyond a man. BTW: did you ever see it? I don't see a reaction to the film.
