It seems that we could get a third evil movie. A new voice that the tour suggests that Universal Pictures is already exploring the possibility of Evil 3Despite Wicked: forever It is destined to conclude the original Broadway story in 2025.
The word comes from the insider Mytimetoshinehello, who says: “Even if Wicked: forever He covers the rest of the musical, there are speeches on a possible third film. “
So what could a third film be? Director Jon M. ChuThe adaptation in two parts has so far blocked up close to the 2003 Broadway musical, but but EvilThe material of origin is actually much deeper.
The Walked Years Novel by Gregory Maguire includes three sequels beyond the first book, which includes Son of a witch, A lion among menAND Out of Oz. These books exceed the events of The Wizard of OzBy introducing new characters and exploring Elphaba’s legacy, in particular through his son, Liir.
Unlike Broadway show, novels go to a darker and more introspective territory. Son of a witch It is particularly focused on identity and trauma, while Liir looks for his place in a fractured Oz. Nor, even Fiyero’s daughter and Liir’s half -sister, becomes a key player as the series evolves.
These books do not synchronize perfectly with the tone of the musical or the results of the character. Chu’s version implies that Elphaba survives, just like Broadway’s production, but Maguire’s novels are more ambiguous and complex in the way they manage that legacy. Any potential sequel should make some changes to history if he hopes to fill the two narrative styles.
In November 2024, composer Stephen Schwartz and screenwriter Winnie Holzman Recognized that he had had conversations on the expansion of the evil film universe. However, they were careful to note that any continuation would not be simply evil to the third or fourth part.
At this point, nothing is official. But if Wicked: forever He performs well and fans want more Oz, it would not be surprising to see the universal immersion in unexplored waters with the franchise and expand the franchise.
