The 2025 film schedule has fairly a couple of returns to beloved photos of the previous, particularly with the following couple months providing 28 Years Later and Jurassic World Rebirth. The previous instance simply would possibly get a little bit of a bump, as the primary trailer increasing what we learn about Depraved: For Good will most likely be connected to its pre-show reel.
However as beforehand promised, tonight’s particular Depraved re-release screenings noticed the primary trailer for director Jon M. Chu’s follow-up to 2024’s smash hit unfurled. Whereas I really like the outcomes, I feel that displaying Fiyero (Jonathan Bailey) making his face flip to avoid wasting Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) within the Wizard’s lair feels prefer it ought to have been saved for the movie. I might prefer to suppose hardcore Depraved followers would agree with me on that.
On the plus aspect, Depraved: For Good’s anticipated tonal shift does get to shine on this first look footage. Ouncescertainly feels darker and extra restrained underneath The Wizard (Jeff Goldblum) and his reign. And that close-up on the Cowardly Lion has me shopping for into that concept that the little cub Elphaba and Fiyero launch into the woods in Depraved is certainly our anxious buddy.
Which circles me again to the purpose I used to be making earlier. Whereas I’m nonetheless attempting to keep away from Depraved: For Good spoilers on this ridiculous year-long hole between motion pictures, I sadly know a bit greater than I wish to about Jonathan Bailey’s uniformed heartthrob.
Whereas I received’t spoil something large right here, I completely discovered about that face flip. Even with out understanding the precise circumstances surrounding it, Depraved 2’s large second loses its impression when proven mere seconds after a really critical trying Bailey in uniform exhibits up trying like this:
Then once more, possibly this trailer is basically extra for promoting Depraved: For Good to hardcore followers. I imply, they dropped 007 First LIght’s announcement trailer tonight too, and for all I do know, somebody is feeling this identical manner about younger James Bond’s first look in that new online game.
I apologize to all the loyal Depraved followers in tears, because the continued teasing of the pivotal tune “For Good” has been happening for a while. Tonight’s new reel of anticipation actually performed on these emotions, in addition to digging into Cynthia Erivo’s rendition of “No Good Deed.”
Such expectations had been set final evening, because the Instagram announcement video for tonight’s occasion was most likely a little bit of a set off. Not solely had been For Good’s costumes proven off, however we heard one other small little bit of Erivo and Grande singing that very tune. Should you’re able to burn by some extra tissues, right here’s what that appeared like:
Am I excited for Depraved: For Good? After all I’m. However as somebody who tries to defend watching trailers to a few of my associates who flat out keep away from them, I can now see why they’re so antagonistic to such issues. Regardless, the conclusion of Depraved flies into theaters on November twenty first; simply in time for the Thanksgiving desk to speak concerning the big twists that await all of Oz.
