Spoilers forward for Depraved: For Good.
Jon M. Chu’s Depraved won’t be a musical that gained Finest Image, however the solid and crew have one other likelihood at that honor with the sequel, For Good. Whereas followers like me have rewatched the primary film with an Amazon Prime subscription, the ultimate trailer for the second movie has simply arrived. It is actually epic, however I am fearful that it might spoil various huge plot twists for these unfamiliar with the stage musical.
What we learn about Depraved: For Good is dependent upon how a lot of a musical theater nerd you might be, though Stephen Schwartz has introduced two new songs to the film. However the above trailer has the potential to spoil the place the story will go, particularly for Madame Morrible, Nessa, and Boq. Let’s break all of it down.
Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh is downright devious as Morrible, and a clip of her manipulating the twister that brings Dorothy’s home to Oz (and famously kills the Depraved Witch of The East). This was hinted when she confirmed her climate skills within the first film, however seeing the home floating across the tornado confirms for newbies that Wizard’s affiliate shall be chargeable for the dying of Elphaba’s sister.
Nessa herself solely seems as soon as on this trailer, and is proven magically floating within the air and being completely delighted by it. This scene has been teased to go down in a different way thank the stage musical, to ensure that it to not be ableist and extra snug for actress Marissa Bode.
One other potential spoiler is the inclusion of the Tin Man from The Wizard Of Oz. Utilizing the method of elimination, followers may have the ability to determine which character (who’s in any other case lacking from the trailer) finally ends up turning into this iconic character. Ought to the film’s advertising have left him out? I would say sure, regardless of how lengthy I have been a Depraved fan. Lastly, we see a fast clip of Elphaba and Fiyero collectively, confirming this coupling within the sequel.
Clearly a fast google search concerning the Depraved stage musical might reveal precisely what is going to go down the denizens of Oz throughout For Good. However there are many informal moviegoers who aren’t musical theater nerds. And I am desperate to see in the event that they handle to clock the assorted plot twists that usually come within the present’s second act.
CinemaBlend’s Depraved evaluation was tremendous constructive, and it ought to be fascinating to see how critics reply to the sequel. However since Jon M. Chu and the Depraved solid filmed each motion pictures again to again, I’ve religion that For Good goes to be simply as satisfying, if no more. Fortunately the await it’s almost over.
Depraved: For Good will hit theaters on November twenty first as a part of the 2025 film launch record. Since that is the ultimate trailer, we presumably will not be handled to that a lot new footage. And contemplating the potential spoilers, that is perhaps good factor.
