I hope that the movie will be about as good as the book was, although I'm certain that some of the darker and more risque stuff will be left out of the movie.
Otherwise, it's about damn time that this movie will be made.

While I am very much looking forward to this project, my biggest concern about this project is that if you look at the list of films that Stephen Daldry has directed, none of them involve special effects. I think people are going to see this will want to see Glinda come down in a bubble

Universal has decided to postpone Wicked to accommodate its production schedule. Now that Tom Hooper's Cats has already announced casting and the cameras will soon begin rolling for that film, Universal has now scheduled that film for release on December 20, 2019 instead.

After Daldry departed the project, John M. Chu was announced to replace him as director.

Production for the film shut down due to the SAG-AFTRA strike. There were only 10 days left of filming for Part One and the only musical sequence left to film was "One Short Day". The release dates won't be affected.
