A Wicked Revelation at the London Premiere
Ariana Grande has sent Wicked fans into a frenzy by confessing she is never ready to say goodbye to her beloved character, Glinda the Good Witch. The superstar made the heartfelt admission at the Leicester Square premiere for Wicked: For Good on November 10, 2025, the concluding part of the much-anticipated two-film adaptation.
From Box Office Smash to Future Speculation
The first Wicked film grossed nearly £600 million worldwide, a staggering commercial success that has set high expectations for the sequel. Industry experts now predict that Wicked: For Good could perform even better, fuelling widespread speculation that the story might not end there.
Ariana opened up about the profound personal impact playing Glinda has had on her life. She stated she will never be prepared to let the character go, a declaration certain to delight the franchise's devoted following. The role, she explained, helped her establish crucial personal boundaries and discover a new level of self-confidence.
The importance of female friendship and support was a central theme in Ariana's revelations. Her bond with co-star Cynthia Erivo, who plays Elphaba, has blossomed into a sister-like relationship off-screen. This deep connection has fans hoping for more collaborative projects from the duo in the future.
A Friendship Forged in Ink and Support
The strength of their partnership is undeniable. In a touching display of their bond, the pair even got matching 'For Good' tattoos, a permanent tribute to their time working on the second film. Ariana has publicly described Cynthia as an incredibly supportive friend who is always there for her, making the world a better place.
Cynthia Erivo, a triple Oscar nominee and award-winning actress, echoed these sentiments. She revealed that Ariana coaxed her into writing an album during their early rehearsals, crediting her friend for the push. Their friendship has clearly been a source of creative and personal strength for both women throughout the demanding production.
Looking ahead, the multi-talented Ariana Grande, 32, remains open to diverse creative ventures. She expressed a desire to continue pursuing projects that excite her, whether in acting, music, or a return to Broadway. Her primary career goal is to find work that makes her excited to get out of bed each morning.
