Is Dorothy Gale truly set to make her mark on the fantastical world of "Wicked Part 2"? The anticipation surrounding the casting of Dorothy in the sequel is reaching fever pitch, promising a significant role for the iconic character and leaving fans eager for answers.
The first installment of the "Wicked" film adaptation has already graced screens, captivating audiences with its fresh take on the beloved musical. Yet, the excitement doesn't stop there; the upcoming "Wicked Part 2," scheduled for release in November 2025, promises to delve deeper into the narrative and introduce new characters.
The central question on everyone's mind revolves around who will step into the ruby slippers, or perhaps, the silver flats? The role of Dorothy is one of the most highly coveted and speculated-upon in recent years. This has led to a surge in fan theories, social media discussions, and fervent hope for hints regarding who will portray the character.
Currently, no actress has been officially confirmed to play Dorothy in either part of the adaptation. However, whispers and rumours have been circulating, fueled by subtle clues and connections. For example, the red carpet appearance of Alisha Weir at the London premiere of "Wicked," wearing metallic silver flats, has sparked considerable speculation. Some observers see this as a hint towards her casting.
Alisha Weir, a young Irish actress, has emerged as a leading contender in the rumor mill. Her involvement has been hinted at by various sources, including director Jon M. Chu, who has acknowledged the character's significance in the upcoming film. Furthermore, the actress was spotted alongside Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, adding more fuel to the speculation.
Weir's potential casting has captured the imagination of many, who see her as a perfect fit for the role. Her background in the world of musical theatre and her budding career has positioned her as a rising star. The prospect of seeing her as Dorothy, potentially interacting with Elphaba and Glinda, has fans buzzing.
The buzz around "Wicked Part 2" extends beyond just the character of Dorothy. Fans are eager to see how the sequel will bring Act 2 of the Broadway musical to life, and how it will weave its story into the original "Wizard of Oz" narrative. This includes the potential for familiar songs to be featured.
The role Dorothy will play in the "Wicked" films is significant. The trailer included a familiar shot of Dorothy. Her actions in the original story have far-reaching consequences in the world of Oz, her arrival tragically leads to the death of Elphaba's sister Nessarose, the "Wicked Witch of the East."
While the Broadway show features a brief glimpse of Dorothy, the film adaptation will give her character a bigger role. The director has confirmed her involvement in the movie, and now, her presence in the film is highly anticipated.
