The hype for the Wicked live action movie keeps growing as Universal released a LEGO version of the official trailer. Based on the best selling novel by Gregory Maguire, the beloved musical is set to steal more fans hearts on the big screen with Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande as the titular leads. Erivo plays Elphaba, commonly known as the Wicked Witch of the West. And Grande plays Glinda, commonly known as the Good Witch. The musical adaptation basically recounts the events that led to Elphaba being given a wicked reputation.
The adorable LEGO version of the official trailer comes as The LEGO Group and Universal Products & Experiences are bringing to life 4 new LEGO® Wicked sets featuring mini-dolls. They launch October 1, 2024. “The story of Wicked creates such an incredible experience for families, so being part of the team creating LEGO sets inspired by the upcoming movie and bringing that universe to life is hugely exciting.” said Raquel Ojeda Gregorio, LEGO Wicked Design Lead at the LEGO Group.
Gregorio also added: “Wicked has some of the most magical locations and characters and recreating that with LEGO bricks is a match made in Oz. I can’t wait for fans to see these colorful sets and hope they will enjoy unlocking their imagination, creating, and telling their own Wicked-inspired stories.” And you can see just that in the LEGO official trailer, making us want a game to match in the same vein that we’ve seen LEGO do with other popular franchises.

Wicked is set to be released November 27, 2024 in theaters. This will only be the first part with the second one premiering the following year in November as well.
