Do You Have to Stay Until the End of Wicked For Good? Post-Credits Scene Revealed

Summary:

Wicked For Good ends without any extra footage or sequel tease, mirroring Part I.
Universal considers Wicked: For Good the conclusion, though Chu is open to future stories.
New films would depend on Stephen Schwartz adapting more books from Gregory Maguire’s expanded Oz series.

Post-credits scenes have become so common that audiences now instinctively stay put when the lights come up. But Wicked: For Good takes a different approach. As the franchise closes out its two-film story, fans understandably want to know whether there’s a final wink, a hidden reunion, or a glimpse at life after Oz. The answer is simpler than expected and it reveals how intentionally this finale was crafted.

Is There a Wicked For Good Post-Credits Scene at the End of the Movie?

If you’re wondering whether to sit through the full credits for a bonus moment, the answer is no, Wicked For Good does not include a post-credits scene. There’s no extra hint about Elphaba’s fate, no last-minute cameo from characters offstage, and no teaser for a future sequel.

It’s the same structure the first movie followed. Wicked: Part I ended cleanly after “Defying Gravity,” with Madame Morrible warning the Ozians about the “wicked” threat ahead and Glinda left shaken but resolute. No extra scenes, no hidden tags just a definitive close on the act.

The sequel mirrors that choice. After its final emotional beats, Wicked: For Good bows out without embellishment, letting the story’s final moments stand on their own rather than extending them with a Marvel-style stinger.

This design isn’t accidental. Wicked, both on stage and on screen, is rooted in emotional storytelling rather than universe-building. The musicals never relied on late surprises to reshape the story and the films honor that lineage.

Will There Be a Wicked Part 3 or Any Future Oz Films?

The official answer: Not right now. Wicked: For Good is positioned as the final film in this adaptation of the musical.

But the longer answer is more interesting.

While Universal says this is the end for now, director Jon M. Chu has made it clear he’s open to continuing the story if the creative spark is right. Speaking at the New York premiere, he hinted:

“There’s a lot of ideas flying around right now… But let’s enjoy this ride first.”

That comment alone doesn’t guarantee a third movie, but it shows the door isn’t closed.

What Could a Future Oz Movie Be Based On?

If Wicked ever does return, it likely wouldn’t be a direct “Part III” to the current storyline. Instead, it would depend on:

Stephen Schwartz choosing to write a new musical for adaptation
Gregory Maguire’s additional books Son of a Witch, A Lion Among Men, Out of Oz being considered for film

Right now, Schwartz hasn’t indicated plans to adapt the additional novels into musicals, which means a cinematic continuation isn’t in active development.

So while Wicked 3 isn’t happening, the world of Oz still has plenty of open roads they’re simply not being explored at this moment.

What Happens at the End of Wicked For Good?

Without revealing spoilers, Wicked: For Good concludes Elphaba’s and Glinda’s arcs in a way that reflects the tone of the musical hopeful, bittersweet, and decisive. It answers the emotional questions set up in Part I while leaving some interpretive space that fans have always debated.

If you were hoping for a last-minute visual confirmation of certain fan theories especially about Elphaba and Fiyero’s future the post-credits absence means the film chooses subtlety over explicit epilogues.

This is very much in line with the Broadway ending, which trusts the audience to sit with ambiguity rather than tie every thread in a bow.

Who Are the Characters Returning in Wicked For Good?

Below is a clear cast list based on confirmed information from the studio and recent coverage:

Wicked: For Good Cast

Actor	Character	Notes
Cynthia Erivo	Elphaba	Shows fierce, vulnerable, and mature sides, leaning into deeper emotional complexity.
Ariana Grande	Glinda	Evolves from wide-eyed optimism to layered leadership and heartbreak.
Jonathan Bailey	Fiyero	Continues his arc from romantic foil to key emotional catalyst.
Ethan Slater	Boq	Returns as a familiar Oz figure whose journey reflects the broader upheaval.
Bowen Yang	Pfannee	Adds comedic and narrative texture.
Marissa Bode	Nessarose	Her relationship with Elphaba remains central to the emotional fabric.
Jeff Goldblum	The Wizard	His human-world background remains a point of curiosity — but no post-credits teases answer it.
Michelle Yeoh	Madame Morrible	Continues as the calculating force shaping Oz’s political tone.

Together, the ensemble carries the story toward its final cadence one that doesn’t rely on late-film fan service to feel complete.

Does Wicked For Good Set Up Another Sequel Without Using a Post-Credits Scene?

Wicked_ For Good _ Witness the Epic Conclusion

Not directly. But the movie does one subtle thing: it preserves the narrative pathways Gregory Maguire established in his books. Fans familiar with the larger Oz cycle will notice threads that could, in theory, be expanded — but none are teased explicitly on screen.

This is where Jon M. Chu’s comments matter. He’s open to a continuation, and he’s also aware of the cultural appetite for Oz stories. His daughter’s invented sequel which he claims he genuinely loves — signals that the creative world around Wicked is alive, even if not currently in active production.
