‘This has me like’: Fans react hilariously as Jon M. Chu explains the title change from ‘Wicked Part 2’ to ‘Wicked For Good’

After the roaring success of Part 1, Wicked is gearing up for its second installment, which is set to release in November 2025. However, the sequel, initially titled Wicked: Part 2, just received a title change. Director Jon M. Chu recently announced that the title will now be changed to Wicked: For Good.

Jon M. Chu explained that a movie titled Part 2 wouldn’t feel very desirable or exciting. Additionally, the script had always referred to the sequel as For Good, so it made more sense to use that as the official title. The announcement has been met with amusement from fans, who consider it an unnecessary change.

Why Part 1, then? (via @AdamInHTownTX/X)

This fan makes a humorous point - If the sequel was always meant to be titled Wicked: For Good, then why did the title screen of the first movie say Wicked: Part 1? Busted!

2 Wicked 4 Good (via @BryceStorbakken/X)

It seems this user has given us the best of both worlds. 2 Wicked 4 Good cleverly blends both the old and new titles seamlessly.

Whole bunch of nothing (via @blindinglights/X)

Many users found the title change announcement to be a whole bunch of nothing, and this user just suggested an alternative title. However, Wicked Part 2: For Good might seem a bit too long for some!

Power of Part 2 (via @_peytonhacker/X)

All the movies mentioned by this user with Part 2 in their titles were massive hits. It seems that this user might have just debunked Jon M. Chu's theory!

Going the musical route (via @ImpishRomantic/X)

Well, if Wicked really wants to stick to the textbooks when naming its sequel, it should call it Act 2 over all other options since it is a musical, and that's how they typically do their naming.

The title change for the highly anticipated Wicked sequel may have baffled fans. However, it certainly hasn’t taken away any of the hype and excitement, as fans are still eagerly awaiting November 2025 to arrive with bated breath.
