  • Chu deliberately leaves Dorothy's appearance in the first 'Wicked' film ambiguous, refusing to 'step on' fans' vision of the classic character and setting up larger narrative possibilities for the sequel.
  • Marketing materials for the first 'Wicked' film include glimpses of Dorothy and her companions meeting the Wizard, suggesting these scenes may be featured in the upcoming Part Two, which Chu promises will be 'eight times more relevant' than the first installment.
