Wicked: For Good<\/a> has finally been released and everyone is already wanting to know if there’s going to be a third film. A Wicked 3 hasn’t been confirmed, but this is what it would be about.<\/p>\n

At the Brazil Wicked: For Good premiere, the Director Jon M. Chu was asked if he’s considering a spinoff. He said he’s “not” right now but “you never know”.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

“As far as I know, this was always meant to be a two-movie experience. This is the end of an era, but you never know,” he added, as per Us Weekly<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The movies are based on the Wicked musical, which finishes at the end of For: Good, but there are actually eight books in the original series by Gregory Maguire<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The first book is Wicked, which has been split into two parts for the film. After that is Son of a Witch, which would provide the plot for a potential Wicked 3.<\/p>\n

This is what Wicked 3 will be about, if there is another film after For Good<\/h2>\n

Son of a Witch, which was published 20 years after the original novel, in 2005, is about Elphaba<\/a> and Fiyero’s son Liir. It’s set about 10 years after the events of Wicked.<\/p>\n

The book begins when Liir is found almost dead. He is healed and taken on a quest by a woman called Candle to find his half-sister Nor, who was last seen in the Emerald City.<\/p>\n

At this point, Oz is under dangerous new management after the Wizard’s exit, and the book shows a much darker side to the Oz world we see in Wicked.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If there is a Wicked 3, we can assume it would follow the plot of Son of a Witch. However, there’s one problem. In Maguire’s book series, Elphaba does die.<\/p>\n

The musical changed the story so that Elphaba fakes her death and survives<\/a>, but this isn’t the original tale. So, Son of a Witch would have to be altered slightly for a film adaptation.<\/p>\n

For this reason, Elphaba isn’t in the Son of a Witch, but Glinda<\/a> does make a brief appearance at the end of the book.<\/p>\n
