Fans of the Broadway musical “Wicked”<\/a> are getting their first little taste of the upcoming big screen adaptation.<\/p>\n

Director John M. Chu, who also directed the hit film “Crazy Rich Asians,” tweeted out an image of Elphaba and Glinda, played by Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande respectively, in a tease for the movie.<\/p>\n

“You weren\u2019t told the whole story. What happens when you veer off the Yellow Brick Road? Here is your very FIRST LOOK of #WickedMovie \u2026 currently in production in Oz.”<\/p>\n

“Wicked” is being broken into two parts, with the first part set to release Christmas Day 2024, and the second Christmas Day 2025.<\/p>\n

Some fans have noted the images are dark and it’s hard to see much detail of Grande and Erivo.<\/p>\n

“I know it’s still being shot and it won’t be ready until next year, but will the final versions of these two shots be brighter than this? Please confirm,” requested one person.<\/p>\n

“Girl please turn on the lights by the time I can watch this movie,” a commenter joked.<\/p>\n

“Looks like Wicked has been \u2018Tim Burton-ised\u2019 It’s a bright, in your face show. These just look dark,” said another.<\/p>\n

Chu responded, “Don\u2019t worry, color is in my DNA\u2026 this is just the first tease. Plenty of time to show more\u2026 stay tuned.”<\/p>\n

Grande, who has been out of the spotlight while filming the musical, also recently responded to people’s comments<\/a> on social media, specifically those about changes to her body and weight.<\/p>\n

“I just wanted to address your concerns about my body and talk a little about what it means to be a person with a body, and to be seen and be paid such close attention to,” the 29-year-old said in a TikTok.<\/p>\n

“I think we should be gentler and less comfortable commenting on peoples bodies, no matter what. If you think you\u2019re saying something good or well-intentioned, whatever it is \u2014 healthy, unhealthy, big, small, this, that, sexy, not sexy \u2014 we just shouldn\u2019t,” she said. “We should really work towards not doing that as much.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the video, Grande noted she was on antidepressants and drinking and “eating poorly” when “I looked the way you consider my healthy. But that, in fact, wasn\u2019t my healthy.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

She added, “You never know what someone is going through, so even if you are coming from a loving place and a caring place, that person probably is working on it or has a support system that they are working on it with. You never know, so be gentle with each other and with yourselves.”<\/p>\n
