The whole world already knew that the movie «Wicked» would become the most popular movie — and event — in the world. Theater lovers and movie buffs alike showed their enthusiasm, proving that pink and green outfits can really go together. Now that «Wicked: Part One» has officially been released in theaters, some are wondering if there is a post-credit scene. After all, we will have to wait a whole year for the release of «Wicked: Part Two». So, is it worth staying after the credits roll? Hollywood Life answers this question — and provides more detailed information about both «Wicked» movies — below!
«Wicked» has a runtime of 2 hours and 40 minutes, according to IMDb.
No, there is no post-credit scene after the 2024 movie «Wicked». «Wicked: Part Two» is a direct continuation, so there was likely no need to insert an additional scene after the credits rolled. Since the film is an adaptation of a Broadway musical, theater fans consider the year-long break between the movies to be a lengthy intermission.
However, the end credits of the film pay homage to the style of the original «The Wizard of Oz» from 1939.
«Wicked: Part Two» is scheduled for release in theaters on November 21, 2025.
According to Deadline, «Wicked» cost $ 145 million to produce — and this may not include a huge marketing campaign. The publication reported that the first part of the two films is expected to gross between $ 130 and $ 150 million in the first three days in theaters.
«Wicked» is still running on Broadway, and fans can purchase tickets on the official musical website.
Movie stars Cynthia Erivo (Elphaba) and Ariana Grande (Glinda) have come a long way together, starring in the film under the direction of director Jon M. Chu and their cast. Jon ultimately decided that the film adaptation could not be just one movie, which he explained in a social media post in 2022.
«Preparing for production over the past year, it became impossible to fit the story of 'Wicked' into one film without doing real damage to it», - Jon wrote in a tweet. «Trying to cut songs or trim characters, these decisions began to feel like fatal compromises to the original material that entertained us all for so many years. We decided to give ourselves a big canvas and make not just one 'Wicked' film, but two! With more space, we can tell the story of 'Wicked' as it was meant to be told, bringing even more depth and surprises to the journeys of these beloved characters»
