\nThe first trailer for Wicked Part 1<\/strong> is here, giving us our first look at the long-running musical’s movie adaptation.\n<\/p>\n

\nAs it does every time, the Super Bowl was stuffed full of trailers, offering first looks at Deadpool & Wolverine<\/a> and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes<\/a>, but there was also something for the musical fans too. Wicked, based on the stage show of the same now, also made an appearance, complete with performances from the pair of leads Cynthia Erivo, who plays the very green Elphaba, and Ariana Grande in the role of Galinda Upland. Much like the first trailer for the Mean Girls musical movie, you won’t actually hear much singing though, though there is a stray note at the end from the musical’s most iconic song, Defying Gravity.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe first look, which you can see above, isn’t exactly inspiring confidence – it mostly just seems like your standard, 2020s, CGI-infested blockbuster that isn’t doing anything original and exists for the sole purpose of capitalising on a pre-existing property. Obviously it could still be good! But then, even if Grande has gone on to some great heights like appearing in Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, she was also a Nickelodeon actress, so there’s only so good Wicked can be really.\n<\/p>\n
