Impress your friends with these amazing details. Please be warned: there are spoilers ahead in this article. Come back after you’ve seen the film, or proceed at your own peril. Wicked: For Good has landed in cinemas. With that in mind, we’ve meticulously gone through the film and found an absolute deluge of easter eggs. We’re going to insert a lovely photo from the film to ensure you actually want to read on. What we intend to do in this article is run through all the key easter eggs that appear in Wicked: For Good, another instalment in the Wicked film adaptation based on the much-loved stage musical. We’ll tap into easter eggs from the Wicked stage production, the original novel, The Wizard of Oz film, and other films that might be referenced throughout Wicked: For Good.
Wicked: For Good opens with a completely new opening compared to the stage production. The new film begins with a scene of the Yellow Brick Road being constructed and animals being forced into servitude. Interestingly, the first time we see Elphaba, flying in to help, is from behind, pulling her hair across her shoulder. In fact, this is an identical way that she’s introduced in the first film, allowing for some consistency between the two flicks. What’s different, and also an easter egg, is that this time Elphaba is flying in rather than stepping off a boat. So there she was grounded, but now she is defying gravity, hinting at a change in the character.
