The director of Wicked has addressed the possibility of more Wizard of Oz world-building – and we’re here for it!

Speaking in an interview with Attitude yesterday (Tuesday 20 November 2024), Jon M. Chu said more stories from the Land of Oz are “possible, for sure.”

The Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande-starring movie, which has won rave reviews, tells the origin story of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West.

The premise begs the question of other origin stories from The Wizard of Oz, such as for the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion, as featured in the 1939 classic film starring Judy Garland.

“We’ve shot it – I’ve seen a cut of it” – Jon M. Chu
