If the full-length Wicked trailer had you hyped for the upcoming film’s release, wait until you see the brand new Lego version of the three-and-a-half minute clip that dropped on Wednesday (May 29).
The “Brickified” version of the trailer plays out exactly like the original, scene-by-scene, featuring the same dialogue and music with Ariana Grande as Glinda the Good Witch and Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba the Wicked Witch of the West — but the two are transformed into building blocks toy versions of themselves, as do the scenes around them. In the OG trailer, released earlier this month, Grande’s bubbly rendition of “Popular” then plays over scenes of the “We Can’t Be Friends” singer meeting Erivo’s Elphaba for the first time and swinging from a chandelier in their shared dormitory at Shiz University. The two characters then hold hands as they travel to the Emerald City together and meet Jeff Goldblum’s Wizard of Oz, during which the music in the trailer gradually shifts into Grande and the Harriet star’s voices harmonizing on “Defying Gravity.”
The trailer comes about six months ahead of the first Wicked film’s Thanksgiving premiere, and follows a shorter teaser that aired for the first time during the 2024 Super Bowl broadcast in February. The second part of the Jon M. Chu-directed duology — which was based on Stephen Schwartz’s Broadway musical of the same name, which itself was inspired by Gregory Maguire’s novel — arrives in 2025.
