After the field workplace success of Depraved final 12 months, followers have been excitedly anticipating the launch of Depraved: For Good on the 2025 film schedule. The movie, primarily based on the 2003 hit Broadway musical, adopted Glinda and Elphaba, two witches who kind an sudden friendship earlier than the occasions in The Wizard of Oz. The sequel movie is about to happen alongside the occasions of The Wizard of Oz giving a brand new perspective to the basic Hollywood movie. Whereas the upcoming film was set to be the conclusion of the Depraved story, a brand new rumor circulating is predicting in any other case, which leaves me with questions.
In a put up by MyTimeToShineHello on X, the consumer claimed to have inside information a few third Depraved movie being mentioned at Common. This may be an entire shock if it was true, as even the insider claimed that Depraved: For Good would cowl the concluding occasions that occur within the Broadway musical it’s primarily based on. The consumer didn’t elaborate additional on what the supposed storyline or plot could be in a 3rd movie, or if the thought had even been mentioned with the Depraved forged.
On one hand, it is sensible that Common could be fascinated by a 3rd Depraved movie. The primary movie did extremely nicely financially and critically and was even nominated for Academy Awards. The second movie is predicted to be as a lot of successful, as the Depraved: For Good trailer went viral on the web and promised as a lot of a spectacle as the primary. In an age of sequels and prequels, eager to capitalize on this success looks like a basic transfer from a film studio, even when the fabric for it isn’t fairly there.
Then again, it’s onerous to think about how a 3rd movie would even be justified. The second act of Depraved, which will probably be coated in For Good, may be very conclusive. It ends the place The Wizard of Oz ends, providing a extra sympathetic viewpoint of the basic film villain, The Depraved Witch of the West.
In order that leads me to questions like: What would a 3rd movie even be about? Why would they need to develop previous the present story? And would the forged even be up for one thing like this?
General, it is onerous to think about writing a 3rd half that will lengthen past this ending. Even when they did write that script, the help from the theater group could wane if Depraved: Half 3 doesn’t handle to justify its existence or dwell as much as the magic of the unique musical and the primary movie.
As of proper now, that is all only a rumor, so this entire factor ought to be taken with a grain of salt. A 3rd Depraved could be fully out of left discipline, and a giant upheaval to get collectively because the forged turns into older and strikes onto greater and higher issues. Nevertheless, we are going to proceed to comply with this story if different information surrounding a threequel breaks, or extra Depraved rumors swirl as we draw nearer to the discharge of Depraved: For Good.
Followers will be capable of see Depraved: For Good when it hits theaters on November 21, 2025. Within the meantime, you too can revisit the primary Depraved movie now with a Peacock subscription.
